ReviewsThe familiar [school race] story is given particular freshness here by the wide range of abilities represented, from Bitsy's neurodivergence to a raccoon pal using a wheelchair to Enzo's communicating through a tablet and sign language. A breezy, straightforward storyline, simple sentence structure, and relatively accessible vocabulary make this an easy pick for early readers, and Enzo's form of communication, represented in-text as pictures instead of words, adds an additional layer of literacy kids can interpret.

Bitsy Bat is a star student and the only fantastic flier at Crittercrawl Elementary...until a new nonspeaking student named Enzo Owl arrives and outflies her during recess. Bitsy worries her friends won't think she's special anymore, so she's determined to beat Enzo in the upcoming Critter Games and prove she's the better flier. But when her friend Mo needs help during the race, Bitsy must choose between winning and being a star teammate. And while she's at it, she just might discover that making a new friend is more special than any trophy. This sequel to Bitsy Bat, School Star is told from an autistic perspective and celebrates how our differences make each of us shine brightly on our own and as part of a team.
