This should have been rated higher than three stars. I thought the author did a good job of describing and dealing with grief in this middle grade novel. I loved that the main character was a female aspie. Autism is under-diagnosed in women, so it was nice to see a break from the usual male characte...

I guess I just don't Get It.So many people have recommended this book to me, and I finally got around to reading it, but I was pretty underwhelmed. It's not a bad book. Caitlin is an unusual protagonist, but I had a hard time believing this book.Caitlin is an eleven-year-old girl with Asperger's. Wh...

The best thing about this book for me was that it managed to deal with two very tough subjects and yet still feel like a light fluffy read. Caitlin's view of the world was unique and compelling; I found myself devouring the whole story within a couple of hours as I couldn't put it down!The story is ...

To say that Caitlin has a tough life is an understatement. Her brother, Devon, was murdered at a shooting spree in the middle school, her mother died when she was an infant and did I mention that she has Asperger's Syndrome and has no friends? This heartwarming story, told in Caitlin's voice, foll...

I was interested in this book after I read that the girl had Asperger's Syndrome. While Caitlin's syndrome is severe, I can understand how reading people and fitting in are two things I have never been successful in. The story goes deeper into linking someone who does not understand emotions and f...
