Dusti Bowling‘s books tend to tackle some tough topics and this one is no exception. Avalyn deals with life threatening asthma and allergies while also trying to get to know Adam, a new student in her class (TW in comments) who somehow seems connected to the dust storms. Avalyn loves words and is studying for the spelling bee. Each chapter includes interesting and relevant words she practices.
