What's Inside...
Cat and her brother Chicken spend the summer with grandparents they barely know. Chicken shows traits often associated with autism, like difficulty with social cues, sensory sensitivities, and a strong attachment to routines. As Cat learns more about him, she also grows in understanding, patience, and advocacy.
"A beautiful story of family, forgiveness, life on an island, and growing up." --Kate Messner, author of Breakout and The Seventh Wish
