A is for "Tink Aaron-Martin," "Aardvark," and "Amazing" in
this wonderful alphabetical novel! Tink Aaron-Martin has been grounded AGAIN after an adventure
with her best friend Freddie Blue Anderson. To make the time
pass, she decides to write an encyclopedia of her life from
"Aa" (a kind of lava--okay, she cribbed that from the real
encyclopedia) to "Zoo" (she's never been to one, but her
brothers belong there). As the alphabet unfolds, so does the story of Tink's summer:
more adventures with Freddie Blue (and more experiences in
being grounded); how her family was featured in a magazine
about "Living with Autism," thanks to her older brother
Seb--and what happened after Seb fell apart; her growing
friendship, and maybe more, with Kai, a skateboarder who
made her swoon (sort of). And her own sense that maybe she
belongs not under "H" for "Hideous," or "I" for
"Invisible,"
but "O" for "Okay." Written entirely in Tink's hilarious encyclopedia entries,
THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ME is both a witty trick and a reading
treat for anyone who loves terrific middle-grade novels.
