"Masking" is a coping mechanism that autistic people use to suppress their autistic traits in order to fit in with neurotypical society. In this book, Price documents his experience with masking, and provides a new view of autism from the inside, rather than from the outside looking in.

This middle-grade novel is about eleven-year-old Addie who is singled out by her teacher and classmates because she's autistic. A lot of the novel explores what that means for her and the way she processes her thoughts and emotions. When she learns about witch trials that happened in her Scottish village, she begins a campaign to install a memorial that atones for what was done to them. This is a sensitive, empowering story that I highly recommend!
