Well A Boy Called Bat has nothing to do with him.
It just reminded me of him. The name only.
I really like Elana K. Arnold's Burning and A Question of Miracles. I loved them, actually and so I was excited to see ABCB. It was a really good look into the world of a kid with exceptional abilities. I mean, what I loved about it is that it isn't a BOOK ABOUT A KID WITH EXCEPTIONAL ABILITIES. It is a book about a kid. And this kid does have special gifts and special needs. And he also is just like every other kid, too. Because all kids have special gifts and needs. I just found it interesting, her take on the whole thing. And also that the book description, on goodreads at least, doesn't say, "BAT has X" or whatever. In other places he is described as being on the autism spectrum, but it is all very chill and low-key and respectful and real. And I am excited that it is a series!
