Audiobook. Powerful, heartbreaking, and important book for everyone. I sincerely appreciate the way Bowling tackles difficult issues in many of her books with care, empathy, and empowerment. In this book, Avalyn lives in Crystal Canyon AZ with her family specifically because she has severe asthma and other allergies. Middle school is a struggle because of a number of bullies tormenting her and her friends. When a new boy, Adam, moves into her town and suddenly there are serious dust storms happening. In a magical realism plot line, the storms are tied to Adam and Avalyn learns that Adam is being abused by his uncle. Will Avalyn find her voice to help him? To stand up and call out the bullies? The end of the book explains clearly and kindly to readers how to get help if they are being abused.
