The themes in this book are so relatable to any middle school reader, especially Maggie's changes in friendships. Moving to a new school isn't easy, especially when you do it in middle school. While I enjoyed the fact that Maggie had a lot of agency when it came to picking a new pet, I did kind of wish her parents showed her how much of a commitment it is to get any kind of pet.

The storyline about the new sibling was well done, though, especially as it related to Maggie's desire to get a pet. The art style worked really well for this particular story, and overall, it was an enjoyable read!

I appreciated how this book explored the big and little ways that having a disability can impact your life, and how all these things can add up over time. It also definitely had a heartwarming and satisfying ending. However, the pacing and plot was a bit random at times; I found myself wanting more to happen.
