Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus by Dusti Bowling 262 pp.
Aven Green tells people she meets different outlandish stories about how she lost her arms when the truth is, she was born without them. When her father takes a job running a Wild West Theme Park in Arizona that has seen better days. Aven must leave the only life she has known to begin a new one in the desert. While Aven is mostly self-sufficient, using her feet in place of her hands to do necessary tasks, the idea of meeting a whole lot of strangers in a whole new school and being gawked at makes her nervous. She quickly finds a friend in Connor, a classmate with his own kind of disability and they, along with another "misfit" student, navigate their lives and discover many new things about themselves and secrets about the park. The audiobook was performed excellently by Karissa Vacker.
