Being
a mother of an autistic child and a writer myself, I am always on the hunt for
books that tackle spectrum issues well. This book does. What I like most about
this book is that it's not about Autism, it's about being in a funk, about
needing to feel at home and special. I love that the MC is not autistic, but
the brother to a kid on the spectrum and I really like how the author used the
beauty of the uniqueness of that child to shine through and help the brother
who is having an ugly day. Nicely done!
