Very touching and inspirational

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I recommend this wonderful story of a young girl with Asperger's who learns how to feel and what's important in the world. Insights for all of us to read and remember.

and is a great read and Is an awesome book and recommend . plz read

LOVE the story, not the voice.

I absolutely loved this book and will recommend it to my students. After teaching to kill a mockingbird to middle schoolers for years, I’m eager to share this connection with my younger students this year. And Caitlin’s story and journal to closure and healing is beautiful. I cried and laughed at different moments. However, I did not like the audio. In fact, I sped it up to get through it faster. The voice of this reader was not the right fit for the protagonist. First, it sounded too old, grandmotherly with the twang. And also, the emphasis on many word in dialogue by Caitlin and Michael were not accurate for A) a child with Aspergers and B) a 1st grader. I hope it can be done with a vivid thar is a better fit for the narrator especially.

So beautiful

This book helped healed my inner child ( I have ADHD and Autism). It’s such a beautiful story because it teaching people how to be kinder to and to understand people who are going through grief or have a different ability.

I'm in love with this book!

This story not only deals with sorrow and sadness brought on by tragedy, but how a child with autism might think about sick trauma.

Amazing

This is an amazing book. My family and I listened to this book. Plus,this book helped my daughter learn about the ASD spectrum and we all gave tremendously good reviews.

Great Book!!!

My son had to read this for his high school literature class. He doesn't like to read, but he had no problem reading this book. He loved it so much I just had to read it too!

Wonderful story of Healing

When I started reading this book, I had no idea it would take me on this wonderful trip into the mind of a girl like Caitlin. Born with Asperger's Syndrome, she is a high functioning, highly intelligient girl who develops her social skills and emotional perceptiveness throughout the book. Her drive is amazing and by the end of the journey, this spit-fire of a youngster with lots of confidence not only helps bring healing to her family, but to an entire community. I loved this book. Thanks, Ms. Erskine.

great book

the book was wonderful and the narrator was very interesting and made me want to finish the book
