About this deal
This is a fanfiction novel. I do not own the rights to the Ladybug and Chat Noir universe. I also don't own the graphics on the cover, but I'm in the process of making a new cover. Thanks!

But then, one Saturday night, the unthinkable happens. There’s a rift in the group. Someone doesn’t tell the truth. And soon after, six numbers come up which change everything forever. Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside, you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing. I haven't read Cammie McGovern's YA novels yet and I need to change that. If they're even half this good (and I've only heard amazing things), she's going to be one of my favorites.Benny has two brothers, both are older. The eldest is in high school and the other, George is in 6th grade. George is autistic and needs a lot of support from his family and teachers at school. Between meeting, George's needs and their father's Benny and his family are facing a lot. Like a deft magician, this book reveals its twists only at the very end, I was completely astonished’ Rosamund Lupton Thank you to Edelweiss and the publisher for providing a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Benny is in 4th grade, and his best friend moved away at the end of last year. He is struggling to find new friends. He is also struggling at home. He feels responsible for his father's accident over the summer that has left his brain more than a bit muddled. His family is dealing fairly well. After all they have some experience given Benny's older brother, George, who is autistic. I love Benny and his incredibly kind heart. (He's realistic though, and he loses his temper and he's very hard on himself.) But he's sweet and wise for his age and I wanted to give him about 50,000 hugs. I loved this book! I was a little hesitant to read it because middle grade doesn't always work for me, but I couldn't pass up a Cammie McGovern book. I love her writing so much, and this book did not disappoint. Adrien's life was torn between being hounded by fans or by being oppressed by his overbearing father. The only time that he ever truly feels free is when he takes form as his alter ego Chat Noir and is by Ladybug's side. When he turns 18, Adrien not only gains the ability to use unlimited Cataclysms he finally gains the attention of his crush and bugaboo, Ladybug.This book is all about friendship and kindness. It has wonderful characters and terrific messages, but it never feels preachy. There were some many fun details as well: Benny's obsession with making Lego stop motion movies, his friend Olga and her hand drawn comic books, George's antics, and Benny's teacher. Many of the scenes take place at the elementary school so students will be able to identify with many school events. Benny is very concerned with making and keeping friends. He talks a lot about friendships and analyzes them with deep sincerity.
