Overview
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.
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 mom, a veterinarian, 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 mom that a baby skunk might just make a pretty terrific pet.
"This sweet and thoughtful novel chronicles Bat's experiences and challenges at school with friends and teachers and at home with his sister and divorced parents. Approachable for younger or reluctant readers while still delivering a powerful and thoughtful story" (from the review by Brightly.com, which named A Boy Called Bat a best book of 2017).

Quick read, great for all ages.
Nicole L. - 6 years 3 months agoFace-paced book and I liked how BAT tried to save the skunk kit to keep him in the family. I would recommend this book to anyone because it's easy to understand. #SummerReading

Great Book for 3rd Graders
Chrissandra S. - 6 years 4 months agoI love this book. I read it to my third grade class and they were captivated the whole time. It shows that all kids are not the same and helped my students understand more about autism. While reading this book my class learned empathy and fell in love with Bat. They loved it so much they bought the second one for me to read.
