Reach for this book when your child feels like their brain is 'wired differently' or when they are navigating the painful transition of a childhood friendship drifting apart. It is a deeply empathetic look at Frankie, a neurodivergent girl who experiences the world with sensory intensity and must process the mysterious disappearance of her former best friend, Colette. This is an essential read for middle schoolers struggling with social isolation or sensory processing challenges. Through Frankie's eyes, parents can help their children understand that being different is not a deficit, even when the world feels loud and overwhelming. The story balances a compelling mystery with a realistic portrayal of grief and the complexities of finding where you belong when you don't fit the typical mold.
