In this heartfelt and powerfully affecting coming of age story, a neurodivergent 7th grader is determined to find her missing best friend before its too late. Now in paperback. Things never seem to go as easily for thirteen-year-old Frankie as they do for her sister, Tess. Unlike Tess, Frankie is neurodivergent. In her case, that means she cant stand to be touched, loud noises bother her, shes easily distracted, she hates changes in her routine, and she has to go see a therapist while other kids get to hang out at the beach. It also means Frankie has trouble making friends. She did have one--Colette--but theyre not friends anymore. Its complicated. Then, just weeks before the end of seventh grade, Colette unexpectedly shows up at Frankies door. The next morning, Colette vanishes. Now, after losing Colette yet again, Frankies convinced that her former best friend left clues behind that only she can decipher, so she persuades her reluctant sister to help her unravel the mystery of Colettes disappearance before its too late. A powerful story of friendship, sisters, and forgiveness, Tornado Brain is an achingly honest portrait of a young girl trying to find space to be herself. Inspired by her own neurodiverse child, Cat Patrick writes with authenticity and sincerity in her depiction of Frankie in what is ultimately a love letter to neurodiverse children everywhere.About author(s):Cat Patrick and her family live near Seattle but spend as much time as possible setting marshmallows on fire and tangling kites in Long Beach, Washington.
