About this listen
The audio edition of the best-selling middle grade novel about a spunky girl born without arms and a boy with Tourette syndrome navigating the challenges of middle school, disability, and friendship - all while solving a mystery in a western theme park.
Aven Green loves to tell people that she lost her arms in an alligator wrestling match, or a wildfire in Tanzania, but the truth is that she was born without them. And when her parents take a job running Stagecoach Pass, a rundown western theme park in Arizona, Aven moves with them across the country knowing that she'll have to answer the question over and over again.
Her new life takes an unexpected turn when she bonds with Connor, a classmate who also feels isolated because of his own disability, and they discover a room at Stagecoach Pass that holds bigger secrets than Aven ever could have imagined. It's hard to solve a mystery, help a friend, and face your worst fears. But Aven's about to discover she can do it all... even without arms.

I can’t believe this book is included in Audible Plus
This book is SO GOOD that I would have used a credit to buy it! It’s a great one to read with your preteen who is feeling different from everyone else. I love the writing and the voice acting is incredible.

An amazing story line read equally amazingly:)
This book is a great heartwarming introduction to teen books, I couldn’t think of a single flaw if you paid me to. Listening to the main character Aven, overcome her anxiety and face her fears gives me the courage to do the same myself. This is a truly amazing book. If I’m being honest, it should be worth 30 credits❤️❤️❤️
