Picture
When her family moves to Arizona to manage a falling apart Western Theme Park, Aven struggles with starting over in a new middle school. Aven was used to her old friends being completely accepting of her lack of arms. After leaving the lunch room again to eat in the bathroom, she meets Connor and a new friendship is born. Together the two of them conquer each other's fears and set out to discover the mystery of the secret room they discovered at the park. A wonderfully written story, full of middle school angst, friendship and a little mystery. Fully realized characters that you are rooting for. Recommended for grades 6 and up.
