She attends temple with her father, Abba, and mother every Friday and Saturday, and her unwavering devotion to her faith provides her with a sense of stability. Ellen's romantic interests exclusively lie with girls, and she relies on her best friend, Laurel, for guidance in navigating the complexities of social interactions at their private Georgia middle school. Laurel has always embraced Ellen's autism, making her feel like it's no big deal. However, lately, Laurel has been making more friends and canceling weekend plans with Ellen, leaving Ellen feeling somewhat neglected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEllen believes that a school trip to Barcelona offers the perfect opportunity to mend their friendship. However, things take an unexpected turn. Along the way, Ellen encounters a new nonbinary classmate, whose identity challenges her preconceived notions of gender and sexuality. Homesickness also plagues Ellen as she adjusts to a new environment, further complicating her journey. The students are tasked with a scavenger hunt-style team project that takes them through Barcelona, immersing them in Spanish culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis trip is far from what Ellen had envisioned, throwing her into a whirlwind of new experiences and emotions. Making new friends and letting go of old ones is never easy, but Ellen might just find a comfortable new place for herself if she can learn to embrace the unpredictable nature of life. The trip to Barcelona serves as a transformative journey, where Ellen learns to embrace the unexpected, find her voice, and discover the beauty of diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 280g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 132 x 194 x 26 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780759556294\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A.
