Ellen Outside the Lines by A.J. Sass
5.0
"Owl I need is you".
The first time I ever read a contemporary book of 13-year-olds, it has been a great choice. Not only that has representation, but the autism and queerness, too.
I understand this is a light read for a younger audience so Ellen's queer discovery isn't explained a lot, but it was written well nevertheless, the author did what the book wanted to do. I wish there was a book with Isa as the main character explaining their story.
Elle's autism gave me a new perspective of the spectrum because, yes, I've read books with autism representation, but not like this.
I was sad when I knew it was going to end because it got me hooked since the beginning and I just wanted to protect Elle and their friends.
