"Ginny Moon is exceptional. Everyone knows it--her friends at school, teammates on the basketball team, and especially her new adoptive parents. They all love her, even if they don't quite understand her. They want her to feel like she belongs.
"What they don't know is that Ginny has no intention of belonging. She's found her birth-mother on Facebook, and is determined to get back to her--even if it means going back to a place that was extremely dangerous. Because Ginny left something behind and she's desperate to get it back, to make things right.
"But no one listens. No one understands. So Ginny takes matters into her own hands...
"Benjamin Ludwig's whip-smart, unforgettable novel is an illuminating look at one girl's journey to find her way home and one of the freshest debuts in years." --from the publisher
Ginny is fourteen and has autism, and the book is told from her perspective. The author and his wife adopted a teenage girl with autism, and he uses that experience to create an incredible voice to tell this story. I loved it! Ludwig sucked me in from the first chapter and I couldn't put it down.
