    Adoptees and parents who have adopted...beware.
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2019*

I finished this book but wanted to wait a few days before writing a review....As someone who is adopted, this book enraged me.  It is clear that the author (who happens to have a degree in psychology) didn't do her research on the psychology of adoption.Aven knows she is adopted, but doesn't have any drive or motivation find her bio parents.  When her father gets a new job, they move from Kansas to Arizona, where things get "interesting". There are two characters who provide very obvious clues along the way that they know who Aven is, and the book is wrapped up in a neat and tidy bow as Aven learns the cook is actually her bio grandmother.First, the odds that a bio grandmom would convince a family to pack up and move halfway across the country so she could "observe" them are little to none. Second, the fact that Aven would uncover her bio grandmom's truth, struggle with it for 4 pages, and then decide all is well in the world does absolutely no justice to the pain that adopted kids feel as they grapple with either knowing or not knowing who their bio relatives are.Perhaps the most offensive part to this book came on page 109 and 110. Aven's mom tells the story of Aven's adoption Conner and describes her search as "scrolling through" a web tab with kids who needed to be adopted and then "birthing Aven from the computer" when she found her.Are you kidding me? One, adoption is NOT an Amazon search for the latest and greatest item. Second, if Aven's mom is a psychologist, she would never describe the process in such horrific terms. Third, to people out there trying to adopt children--the process is absolutely nothing like it is described. Adopting a child takes months and months of work. Simplifying this adoption to a mere "click and buy" is mind blowing.I am unbelievably disappointed by a book like this that is for some reason receiving rave reviews. For anyone out there reading this book, find someone that is adopted and learn their story.....it'll give you far more insight to the adoption world than this book ever will.

    Deserves a spot in every library.
  

*by J***V on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2017*

What a pleasant surprise! I bought this to give to our daughter for her 4th grade classroom library, but wanted to read it first. Aven, born without arms and adopted at age two, is gutsy, likable and very human. She's learned to do most of the things any kid would do by using her feet. Even so, moving from Kansas, where everyone is used to her lack of arms, to Arizona where her dad got a new job, creates a new set of fears and anxieties. How she deals with them, helps her parents turn a decrepit theme park around, solve a mystery and make new friends makes for a very satisfying read. It's going to be a great addition to my daughter's classroom library and deserves a place in many, many others.

    Read about the UNarmed 8th Grader Aven
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2018*

I have a nephew with limb differences and we LOVED the book "Wonder" but this book is even better!  It's a shorter read, great for 4th-8th grade audience.  A must have for every family library.  See the world through the eyes of an ABLE-bodies person, Aven (the main unarmed character) strives to show what she can do, not what she can't do or what she is lacking.  And she helps a new friend with Tourette's syndrome change his outlook too.  A great book about two differences/needs that not many people know about or books written about.
