This story caught me off guard in the best way. Aurora and Frenchie are best friends. Aurora is loud and impulsive and spunky and Frenchie is mute, observant, and methodical. Despite their differences, they are each other's people. Aurora looks out for Frenchie at school and at home, and Frenchie is Aurora's companion that allows her to be fully herself. But when Frenchie goes missing, Aurora must find a way to take all she knows and has observed about Frenchie and communicate that to the rescuers. The audio for this book is so beautifully done with multiple narrators that accentuate the already clearly written voices of each of the characters.
This would make an excellent book club book for adults and middle graders alike. There are elements of symbolism and prose that could be found in an adult literary fiction novel. So much to discuss here!
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
