Mattie's new neighbor Agnes, who has an autism spectrum–like "social disorder," is unpopular at school, and Mattie pretends around others that their friendship doesn't exist. This quiet middle-grade novel about what it means to be a friend acknowledges that friendship isn't always easy and that changes in one's own life can make it harder to do what's right.
