Tornado Brain

In this heartfelt and powerfully affecting coming of age story, a neuroatypical 7th grader is determined to find her missing best friend before it's too late.

Things never seem to go as easy for Frankie as they do for her twin sister Tess. For one, Frankie has a string of acronyms attached to her that Tess does not have: ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), AS (Asperger's Syndrome). Tess doesn't have to see a therapist and doesn't mind people touching her. Loud noises don't hurt Tess's ears and she doesn't get as distracted as Frankie does. And most of all Tess, has lots and lots of friends while Frankie only has one--before her sister stole her away.

With just a few weeks left in seventh grade, Frankie's now former friend, Collette, goes missing. Putting aside her hurt and bewilderment over her friend's betrayal, Frankie becomes determined to figure out the clues Colette left behind to find her before it's too late.
