BAT AND THE WAITING GAME

BAT AND THE WAITING GAME by Elana K. Arnold. Illustrated by Charles Santoso

BAT (Bixby Alexander Tam) is back in this touching sequel, BAT and the Waiting Game. (If you haven't read Elana K. Arnold's first book, A Boy Called BAT, you'll want to start there!)

Sweet BAT is autistic. He struggles a bit with changes that can feel out of his control and making friends. Little by little he is gaining ground in both areas as his afternoon routine is interrupted with his sister's play practice and his new friendship with Israel is growing. In fact they're working on a spring project together and Thor, Bat's skunk kit, is at the heart of it all.

If you are looking for a squeaky clean series that focuses on overcoming difficulties with a boy and a skunk smack dab in the middle of it all, this is it!
