BAT And The Waiting Game (Elana K Arnold)



We just finished A Boy Called BAT as a novel study and so of course, my first book of the summer HAD to be the next book. This one did not disappoint. It continues with all the same characters and many of the same issues. BAT is having to prove that he can be a good caretaker for BAT. There's one thing I worry about having a pet skunk. What if he sprays?

Well, in this story, he does. But you'll have to read it to find out where it happens. Let's just say, it's probably the worst timing ever!

Goodreads says:

In the tradition of Clementine and Ramona Quimby, meet Bat. Author Elana K. Arnold returns with another irresistible story of friendship in this widely acclaimed series starring an unforgettable boy on the autism spectrum.

For Bixby Alexander Tam (nicknamed Bat), life is pretty great. He’s the caretaker of the best baby skunk in the world — even Janie, his older sister, is warming up to Thor.

When Janie gets a part in the school play and can’t watch Bat after school, it means some pretty big changes. Someone else has to take care of the skunk kit in the afternoons, Janie is having sleepovers with her new friends, and Bat wants everything to go back to normal.

He just has to make it to the night of Janie’s performance...
