BAT AND THE END OF EVERYTHING

BAT AND THE END OF EVERYTHING by Elana K. Arnold. Illustrated by Charles Santoso

Well, Callie and I did it! We read all three of the Bat books together, and they did not disappoint. In Bat and the End of Everything by Elana K. Arnold, we finally arrive at what Bat and Thor's future will be, because that's been the question the whole way through the series. Without giving anything away, I will tell you that everyone is okay in the end!

This is a series that you would want to start at Book One, so that you get a full picture of the story and Bat and Thor's relationship.

Overall, this series is a delightful read of the adventures of a boy who is on the autistic spectrum and an orphaned skunk kit. Both help each out as Bat becomes the best skunk caretaker he can, and Thor helps Bat develop some wonderful human friendships in his life.

HEADS UP- Only one minor issue to make you aware of. As previously noted in the other Bat book reviews, the parents are divorced. In the previous books there were no uncomfortable situations. In Book Three, however, we have a situation where Dad tries to introduce Bat and Janie to his new girlfriend without giving them any warning. Things go a little south with Janie, who refuses to meet her. Dad promises to not plan anymore surprise visits, and that's the end of it.
