Dust by Dusti Bowling
Avalyn feels like she is always fighting a battle, a battle with her own lungs. She has asthma. Really bad asthma. So, when she almost died at the age of two, her parents moved her to the town of Clear Canyon City in Arizona. A place where there were virtually no allergens, just the occasional dust storm.
But things are changing, regarding those dust storms. Avalyn has noticed that ever since a new boy named Adam has moved to town, dust storms, BIG dust storms are happening....a lot! And it is getting to the point where Avalyn is struggling to breath!
Recommended for grades 6 and up.
