I found it preferable to the other YA autism book I read at the same time ([b:Al Capone Does My Shirts|89716|Al Capone Does My Shirts|Gennifer Choldenko|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1309198452s/89716.jpg|2952174]), but not having read YA in a long time, parts seemed very superficial. In addition, the character sometimes seemed young or naive in a way that does not sync with my experience with high functioning individuals on the autism spectrum There are two things that attracted me to this book. My brother has severe autism and I always want to understand him more, and I have a few characteristics of being on the spectrum. And I have been deeply shaken by two of the local mass shooting. one in Uvalde Texas and another in Allen. Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine, is a book that needs to be read by everyone. A ten-year-old girl with Asperger’s trying to find closure for herself and her father after the mass school shooting that took her beloved brother Devon. A school counselor who I love helps her start the journey to closure. I cannot praise this book enough and want to read more of the author’s books. We need to how to relate to people on the spectrum and implement ways like stricter guns and help all who have had family or been them. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

And now it's won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature! I can hardly agree, but I do find myself thinking of Caitlin from time to time when my mind is wandering while someone's talking to me and I have to remind myself to Look At The Person.
Regarding it's comparison to [b:Out of My Mind|6609765|Out of My Mind|Sharon M. Draper|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275674397s/6609765.jpg|6803732], I completely prefer this one. But both books have this problem of too many problems. You can't heap every trouble in the world on your main character. It's too much. It's a soap opera. It's overkill. ( )
