this is one of the books catherine talked about.
it is about a girl named addy. she is fifteen years old, and gets major panic attacks whenever she is outside. she is afraid to go outside, and at first her mom doesnt understand. addy used to have a friend before she moved. she moved from a big house to a small, old apartment. she is trying to adjust to her new life. sometimes, she gets visions or dreams about things that she doesnt understand. there is also a scary parrot, victor, who can really mock peoples voices.
this story seemed real, even though i had never heard of anyone like addy before. i would give it 4/5.
