I wasn't sure if I would be into this at first because I don't usually have much of an attachment to Babs, but wow, I loved this so much! The book starts off with Barbara in a really rough place, mentally. She's angry and scared and hurting because she's just been seriously injured and is learning to adapt to life using a wheelchair, so she lashes out a lot and keeps people at a distance. She quickly starts lowering those walls, though, and I loved her as she came out of her shell and began to form friendships with the other kids at the ACI. I really enjoyed the mystery and the slightly spooky elements to it, too. I'm so glad I picked this up and I highly recommend it.
