Sam and Asha, two friends who have been inseparable for years, take their bond for granted. Asha believes that Donnybrooke, the mansion on the highest hill in Coreville, is the best house in town, without questioning it. However, everything changes when Sam is accepted into snobbish Castleton Academy as an autistic "Miracle Boy." He leaves Asha, who is also autistic, to navigate middle school alone.
As Sam spends more time with Prestyn, Asha's nemesis, whose family owns Donnybrooke and has forbidden Asha to set foot inside, Asha begins to wonder if she can take anything for granted anymore. Prestyn's interest in Sam seems less than friendly, and Asha is left to wonder if she can find the courage to help her former friend.
The story is told from the perspectives of Asha, Sam, and Donnybrooke itself, offering a highly original take on friendship, peer pressure, and bullying. The author paints a painfully accurate portrait of childhood friendships, and Donnybrooke, the sentient house, is like no other. Louie Stowell, the author of "Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good," praises the book for its sharp insight and gripping read.
