Found this completely at random while looking for available audiobooks on Libby, and I'm super glad I did. The writing/narration was really engaging, the characters were lovable, and the diversity was great. I really loved how accepting Bones and the others were of Kyle's autism
and the fact that they threw a party for him at the end when he finally got it officially diagnosed? that was /so/ sweet, oh my gosh T_T
. I felt like the villain got a bit cartoonish at times, especially by the end, but hey, it's a middle grade novel, I think they're allowed a little of that. Overall an enjoyable read.
