Another Kind by Cait May, Trevor Bream
5.0

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked this book up. Let’s just say, I was not disappointed.

After the kid’s safe space, the Playroom, is compromised, they end up looking for another place to belong. We follow them across the country and meet a bunch of fun characters on the way.

Each of the kids are completely lovable with unique personalities. The art is precious and expressive (as a fellow artist, it’s inspirational too!). I love the character designs of the main characters and all the extras! There was always something interesting to look at.
The found family is great here too—they all have their own relationships with each other. I just loved watching them interact

Short anecdote: This book is relatively small--not as big as the novels I'm used to reading. When I picked it up, the first thing I thought was, "Wow, this is a really heavy book." I proceeded to tell everyone around me to hold it. Now they all think I'm nuts (even when they agreed), and I'll forever remember this book as the Really Heavy book with precious characters :D
