Aven Green is a delightful and uplifting protagonist whose positivity and humor continue to resonate long after the final page is turned. Her captivating personality and witty humor make her an unforgettable character, and her story is a testament to the power of resilience and friendship.

Born without arms, Aven has always been quick to come up with imaginative explanations for her condition. However, the truth is that she was born without them. When her parents accept a job managing Stagecoach Pass, a rundown western theme park in Arizona, Aven relocates across the country, knowing that she will be constantly asked about her disability.

However, her new life takes an unexpected turn when she forms a bond with Connor, another classmate who also struggles with a disability. Together, they discover a hidden room within the theme park that holds secrets more profound than Aven could have imagined. As they work together to solve a mystery that threatens the park, Aven realizes that she possesses a remarkable ability to overcome obstacles and face her fears.

Through her journey, Aven learns valuable lessons about acceptance, empathy, and the importance of being true to oneself. Her determination and resilience inspire those around her, and her story serves as a reminder that disability does not define a person's worth or limit their potential.

Aven's story is a testament to the power of friendship and the ability to overcome adversity. Her positive attitude and infectious humor make her an inspiration to readers of all ages, and her journey will leave a lasting impression on anyone who encounters her.
