Reto Popsugar #29: Un libro con un personaje neurodivergente.
Adeline is 11 years old and autistic. She lives in Juniper, a small Scottish town whose inhabitants feel as if they are from Edinburgh itself.
Addie is starting a new school year, but her longtime friend has left her behind for the mean, rich girl. And her teacher clearly doesn't want her in her class. Her biggest supporter is her older sister Kadeen who is in college, and who is also autistic although her personality is very different from Addie's (who prefers to read about sharks and take refuge in eating her lunch at library). But one of those educational outings that schools are so fond of leads her to realize the history of the women who were executed for being 'witches' in her village. She feels impacted by the story and decides to do something so that they are never forgotten.
