Oh lord I loved this book. Ursu approaches Asperger's syndrome with understanding and kindness, and encourages her readers to do likewise. While Oscar thinks that something is wrong with him, Ursu works throughout the whole story to show that Oscar is a big-hearted, brave boy, and that his differences do not make him less good or worthy. The story itself is full magic, and doesn't shy away from the important questions. Gorgeous, wonderful novel.
