It looks like a one-winged bird crouching in the corner of our living room. Hurt. Trying to fly every time the heat pump turns on with a click and a groan and blows cold air onto the sheet and lifts it up and flutters for just a moment and then falls down again. Still dead.
Soon to be 11-years old, Caitlin Ann Smith has Asperger's. Her world is black or white, good or bad. Anything inbetween confuses her, especially when it comes to emotions. Caitlin adored her 13-year old brother, but he was fatally wounded in a school shooting. In this delicious read, Caitlin learns about friendship, finesse, and closure.
The resolution of this story is what makes it a great read!
If you liked reading Because of Winn-Dixie, Pictures of Hollis Woods, Make Lemonade, So B It, you'll love Mockingbird.
