A Boy Called Bat

For Bixby Alexander Tam (nicknamed Bat), life tends to be full of surprises ? some of them good, some not so good. Today, though, is a good-surprise day. Bat?s mum, a vet, has brought home a baby skunk, which she needs to take care of until she can hand him over to a wild-animal shelter.

But the minute Bat meets the kit, he knows they belong together. And he?s got one month to show his mum that a baby skunk might just make a pretty terrific pet.

The first book in a funny, heartfelt, and irresistible young middle grade series starring an unforgettable young boy on the autism spectrum, from acclaimed author Elana K. Arnold and with illustrations by Charles Santoso.
