Best of the Bunch (April 2023)

Today I'm sharing the best book I read in April.

It was a super slow reading month for me. I only finished 5 books (including one very quick read with my 8-year-old), and the only 5-star read I had was a reread, so while I usually don't count those, I'm going to make that the best of the bunch for April!

It was a different experience rereading Out of My Mind since one of my main praises of the book is that it doesn't go in the direction you might expect, but I still enjoyed the read and think it's a fantastic book. Told from the perspective of a nonverbal young girl with cerebral palsy, this middle grade book exquisitely demonstrates how disability is as much about the ways that we as a society treat others as it is about anyone's physical limitations. I'd recommend it in any format, but I especially enjoyed it the way I first experienced it, as an audiobook superbly narrated by Sisi Aisha Johnson.
