The arm-less wonder Aven is back and this time she's going to high school. At first she's determined to make the most of it, even though her best friend Connor won't be in school with her she'll still have Zion and his brother Lando. But after The Great Humiliation Aven draws in on herself, it doesn't help that Henry is getting older and more confused. High school is hard, but with the right support system it's a little easier.
I LOVE this book, I was so glad to get back into Aven's world. This book handled the issue of bullies and how difficult it is to move on from humiliation. They also did a great job with what family is and what it means. Also I just like the size of the book, it just fit. It was funny and witty and a great read for a late in the year 6th grader, 7/8th grader or a high school student. This one didn't have the mystery of the first, but it had all the same heart.

I absolutely loved this sequel! The character development was great; the plot kept moving; the description were well done! So good!

My 10 year old daughter and I read both Aven Green books together, and we absolutely loved them. It is rare that a sequel book outshines the first, but in my opinion Momentous Events was so well done! Both books have spurred some great conversations with my kids. There are some really important big ideas here that are presented in a skillful, non-overbearing way.

A good second book in this series with the characters moving to high school. Still highlights how disabilities impact our youth and how others perceive them. Good quick read.
