An amazing middlegrade story with a very moving main character, I loved Addie’s enthusiasm and deeply caring nature. Her sisters were great side characters as well, and I’m happy to see that it looks like there is a prequel about Keedie. Will for sure be reading that one as well. 
This was definitely an awesome own voices story of the kind that should be mandatory reading in schools.
