A book I have had recommended a couple of times and it's been on my to-do list for awhile. It made a very quick holiday read, and although not lengthy it packs a lot of punch into it's pages. I found it both sad and thought provoking, but very engaging with a quirky unique voice which makes it a stand out for me. Not at all what I expected. I didnt find it gimmicky and although I dont have any direct experience with autistic children, it felt like an authentic voice. Excellent.
