Description
In this heartfelt and powerfully affecting coming of age story, a neurodivergent 7th grader is determined to find her missing best friend before it's too late.
Things never seem to go as easily for thirteen-year-old Frankie as they do for her sister, Tess. Unlike Tess, Frankie is neurodivergent. In her case, that means she can't stand to be touched, loud noises bother her, she's easily distracted, she hates changes in her routine, and she has to go see a therapist while other kids get to hang out at the beach. It also means Frankie has trouble making friends. She did have one—Colette—but they're not friends anymore. It's complicated.
Then, just weeks before the end of seventh grade, Colette unexpectedly shows up at Frankie's door. The next morning, Colette vanishes. Now, after losing Colette yet again, Frankie's convinced that her former best friend left clues behind that only she can decipher, so she persuades her reluctant sister to help her unravel the mystery of Colette's disappearance before it's too late.
A powerful story of friendship, sisters, and forgiveness, Tornado Brain is an achingly honest portrait of a young girl trying to find space to be herself.

Starred review from September 1, 2020
Gr 5-8-Thirteen-year-old Frankie loves tornadoes-their power, unpredictability, and how they seem out of control. which is kind of like Frankie herself. She suffers from neurological problems-Asperger's, ADD, and a sensory disorder-and tries hard to manage herself. She doesn't like to be touched and she often speaks without a filter. Frankie also is brave, persistent, and smart. When her former best friend disappears, Frankie tries to solve the mystery while still emotionally dealing with her friend's perceived betrayal. Jorjeana Marie narrates authentically in the first person in a youthful voice. The world looks differently from Frankie's perspective, and listeners are privileged to share that world with her. Through Marie's stellar portrayal, Frankie's confusion, hurt, and joy are clear. This audio would be a wonderful addition to any middle grade collection. VERDICT Not only is it a good selection for mystery buffs, but its greatest strength is in helping listeners, both adult and young, develop empathy with anyone who is neurodiverse.-Julie Paladino, formerly with East Chapel Hill H.S., NC
