4/5 stars.

This Teen novel is about Kat, who's just moved to Alberta from Ontario so her family can take care of her grandad, and is starting again with high school (I actually had no idea highschool starts in grade 10 in Alberta - so weird!). She has a panic disorder and is very particular about plans and rules because of it. She's calculated because if things start to go awry, she panics.
It also follows Meg, her mom and step-dad have been divorced for about a year now, and Meg is still dealing with her step-dad not wanting part-custody of her in the divorce. She also as to deal with day-to-day racism because she's black, and ADHD. She has a hard time keeping friends because of her hyperactivity and her boyfriend of two-months broke up with her.
Meg and Kat are paired for the science fair project and spawn a friendship through their mutual love of the video game Legends of Stone and YouTube Gamer, LumberLegs.

I really enjoyed a good friendship story. I haven't read a YA book like this in a while - usually they're just filled with unacknowledged insta-love, omigod-we're-gonna-die tropes. This was a good break.
3.5 stars cause I found myself a bit bored at times. The plot seemed to kind of stagger at certain points between each conflict leading up to the climax. But I don't believe in "filler" chapters - every word and every sentence should contribute to the plot. I also found myself unable to relate to the characters. But I'm 20, and the teens in this are in 10th grade (so, 14 or 15, right?), so take that with a grain of salt. I did, however, relate to Kat and her panic attacks. She and I actually extremely similar in our ways. I found her relationship with her grandad so touching, and even shed a few tears.
You should definitely pick this up in November if you're tired of all the romantic tropes and want to snuggle up with some friendship. It's also pretty short, and easy to fly through on a snowy day.
