- Synopsis
- &“Aven is a perky, hilarious, and inspiring protagonist whose attitude and humor will linger even after the last page has turned.&” —School Library Journal (Starred review) Aven Green loves to tell people that she lost her arms in an alligator wrestling match, or a wildfire in Tanzania, but the truth is she was born without them. And when her parents take a job running Stagecoach Pass, a rundown western theme park in Arizona, Aven moves with them across the country knowing that she&’ll have to answer the question over and over again. Her new life takes an unexpected turn when she bonds with Connor, a classmate who also feels isolated because of his own disability, and they discover a room at Stagecoach Pass that holds bigger secrets than Aven ever could have imagined. It&’s hard to solve a mystery, help a friend, and face your worst fears. But Aven&’s about to discover she can do it all . . . even without arms.Autumn 2017 Kids&’ Indie Next Pick Junior Library Guild Selection Library of Congress's 52 Great Reads List 2018
