Description

The first book in a funny, heartfelt, and impossible to resist young middle grade series starring an unforgettable young boy at the autism spectrum, from acclaimed writer Elana K. Arnold and with illustrations by Charles Santoso.

For Bixby Alexander Tam (nicknamed Bat), life has a tendency to be full of surprises—a few of them good, some not so good. These days, though, is a superb-surprise day. Bat’s mom, a veterinarian, has brought home a baby skunk, which she needs to deal with until she can hand him over to a wild-animal shelter.

But the minute Bat meets the kit, he knows they belong together. And he’s got one month to show his mom that a baby skunk might just make a pretty terrific pet.

“This sweet and thoughtful novel chronicles Bat’s experiences and challenges at school with friends and teachers and at home with his sister and divorced parents. Approachable for younger or reluctant readers at the same time as still delivering a powerful and thoughtful story” (from the review by Brightly.com, which named A Boy Known as Bat a best book of 2017).
