Book

Ellen outside the lines / A. J. Sass.

Summary:

"Ellen, an autistic thirteen-year-old, navigates a new city, shifting friendships, a growing crush, and her queer and Jewish identities while on a class trip to Barcelona, Spain"-- Provided by publisher.

"Ellen Katz isn't like the other kids in her class. She knows most thirteen-year-olds don't need to plan out every detail of their lives, or retreat into the quiet when life gets overwhelming, or list everything and everyone in neat categories in a journal. She's always felt accepted by her best-and-only friend, Laurel, who treats the fact that Ellen is autistic like it's no big deal. Only, Laurel has started drifting away, which is a very big deal. Ellen decides that their class trip to Barcelona is the perfect time to fix things with Laurel--but nothing goes according to plan. Suddenly, Ellen has to navigate a high-stakes scavenger hunt in a new city, a crush on a cute girl staying in their hotel, and discoveries about her own identity. It's up to Ellen to map out a new path to happiness."-- Dust jacket cover.
