Ponyboy can count on his brothers. And on his friends. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up "greasers" like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect, until the night someone takes things too far.

With three hearts and blue blood, its gelatinous body unconstrained by jointed limbs or gravity, the octopus seems to be an alien, an inhabitant of another world. It’s baggy, boneless body sprouts eight arms covered with thousands of suckers—suckers that can taste as well as feel. The octopus also has the powers of a superhero: it can shape-shift, change color, squirt ink, pour itself through the tiniest of openings, or jet away through the sea faster than a swimmer can follow.

This, the only memoir published by a former Schindler's List child, perfectly captures the innocence of a small boy who goes through the unthinkable. Most notable is the lack of rancour, the lack of venom, and the abundance of dignity in Mr Leyson's telling. The Boy on the Wooden Box is a legacy of hope, a memoir unlike anything you've ever read.

Melody is not like most people. She cannot walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom - the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged because she cannot tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy.

Publisher's summary
When Temple Grandin was born, her parents knew that she was different. It wasn’t until years later that she was diagnosed with autism, a brain disorder that makes communication difficult. Today, Dr. Temple Grandin is a brilliant scientist and professor of animal science at Colorado State University. Her world-changing career has revolutionized the livestock industry - each year, half the cattle in the United States are handled in cruelty-free facilities she has designed. She is also a passionate advocate for autism, using her experience to prove that people with this disorder can have “normal” lives.
To achieve this unprecedented success, Temple used a unique ability: she thinks visually, the same way animals do. Because she thinks in pictures, she can see the world as a cow, or a dog, or a pig might see it. And so she knows that animals raised for food deserve good lives and should be treated with respect. Now she gives them their voices.

Insightful and educational
Watching the movie about Temple inspired me to listen to this book. I felt the book was excellent for giving a person insight into autism if you know of someone that has autism. It helped me to better understand why they do what they do. If we can understand their perspective on things, we can work together to accomplish any task, rather than being frustrated that they don't communicate 'my way'.

Thank God for Temple Grandin
This book was very informative about Temple Grandin’s life work and her life experience as it relates to Autism. I think this book would be of interest to anyone that is curious about how others experience life, to those that are on the Autism spectrum and to anyone that loves animals. She makes the most of her life and has made the lives of food animals better in doing so.

Temple Grandin
I have greatly admired Temple Grandin ever since I saw the movie about her life. To think that her father wanted her institutionalized at around 3 years old was heartbreaking to learn. Her mother was a wonderful woman! I have a grandson who has Autism & know first hand how difficult it is for these children. The thing really is if you know one person with Autism, you know one person with Autism. Each person is unique & while that person may share some common issues, that person has his/her own unique differences. But Dr. Grandin understands all of this. She also understands animals & how to treat them & to treat them humanely. I so admire her for wanting to remain her own unique self & not wanting to change a thing. She is truly wonderful just as she is!

Young Adult ~ Easy to Understand
Would you listen to Temple Grandin again? Why?
I will be listening to this book again. This was a very quick listen. A book that you can listen to in one afternoon.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
This isn't actually a story as much as a partial memoir written for a younger audience. I didn't realize this when I purchased the book but it didn't matter because I still found the information very useful. I especially enjoyed the advice on animal husbandry.
Any additional comments?
If you know nothing about Autism and also enjoy cattle or sheep then take a look.

I enjoyed this book, and learned a lot about Autism and how and why Autistic people think and act the way they do. I also learned a lot about cattle. Temples's life and success in her career, in spite of and because of her Autism, was amazing to learn about, and my admiration for her grew after learning more about her struggles.

I have Autism, Excellent book
I saw Temple Grandins film many years ago, just after I was diagnosed aged 19 (now 36). since then I have followed her story ever since. I am so glad that audible has her books, I love to read, but I also love to knit and crochet, among other activities, thank you Audible for providing this service. I would recommend Temple's books to every one, not just those with Autism. the more people who hear them, the better Autism would be accepted and understood, as too the people who have Autism.
how many times have you seen a screaming child in a shop, most people think they are spoiled, or bad. I helped one little boy by giving him my ear defenders. as his mother told me he always acted like that in public places....the child hugged me. I love small hugs, adults hug to tight, or it is not sincere. it took many years to be able to meet another's persons eyes. Martial arts helped with that. You cannot sparr with someone if you don't look at them, the head injuries were a good lesson. I now teach martial arts to other women. never doubt a person's abilities, the brain is a wonderful thing, it makes us unique. even identical twins think differently.

A fascinating and swift insight into Autism. Revealing some hard to hear realities about about meat processing accompanied by positive and hopeful reports and explanations on progressive changes taking place. Thank you Temple for your indomitable spirit and thanks to those brave enough to follow her guidance.

Really enjoyed it.
I also think in film images in my mind that is how I also work things out. I could relate to this a lot. I have 2 Yorkshire terrier’s I see things from their point. I say things like 1. Mum get dressed 2. mum you breakfast, 3. Eat breakfast. 4 Go out. 4 is always something they like like to a forage food game. Or chew treat. I also repeat 1to 4 when wiping their feet after a walk. As I wipe each foot I say 1, 2, 3, 4. I know like me dogs do not like lots of words they move their head to the side when they really want to engage with what you are saying based on the tone of voice. I my self go mostly by the tone of someone’s voice rather than what they say.
So this book way really interesting I have lived on a farm too. So I could totally relate to this book so glad you made it. I would like to read a book about the thoughts of what the writer would make for animals if she had magic gift to make whatever she thought of be so interesting to see what those things would be. That would be a really great book too to read.
Thank you for writing a great book and thank goodness your mum did not listen to your father he didn’t understand it was beyond his comprehension how cleaver you are. I think your mum always new you were gifted.

Information about Temple is wonderful, but the ableism is harrowing. “….one would never know she was shy, let alone autistic”. The whole theme is that she’s “overcome her autism”. Autists take care if you want to read this book, it’s full of ignorant, unkind and harmful stereotypes and beliefs.

Disappointing
Not as much story on Temples life and a lot of dated research on Autism. I wouldn’t recommend.

Story
As one of the most beautiful and intriguing birds found in nature, hummingbirds fascinate people around the world. The lightest birds in the sky, hummingbirds are capable of incredible feats, such as flying backwards, diving at speeds of 61 MPH, and beating their wings more than 60 times a second. Miraculous creatures, they are also incredibly vulnerable when they first emerge from their eggs. That’s where Brenda Sherburn comes in. With tenderness and patience, she rescues abandoned hummingbirds and nurses them back to health until they can fly away and live in the wild.

Story
A naturalist who spent months at a time living on her own among wild creatures in remote jungles, Sy Montgomery had always felt more comfortable with animals than with people. So she gladly opened her heart to a sick piglet who had been crowded away from nourishing meals by his stronger siblings. Yet Sy had no inkling that this piglet, later named Christopher Hogwood, would not only survive but flourish.

Story
With three hearts and blue blood, its gelatinous body unconstrained by jointed limbs or gravity, the octopus seems to be an alien, an inhabitant of another world. It’s baggy, boneless body sprouts eight arms covered with thousands of suckers—suckers that can taste as well as feel. The octopus also has the powers of a superhero: it can shape-shift, change color, squirt ink, pour itself through the tiniest of openings, or jet away through the sea faster than a swimmer can follow.

Story
Sy Montgomery's popular 2011 Orion magazine piece, "Deep Intellect", about her friendship with a sensitive, sweet-natured octopus named Athena and the grief she felt at her death, went viral, indicating the widespread fascination with these mysterious, almost alien-like creatures. Since then Sy has practiced true immersion journalism, from New England aquarium tanks to the reefs of French Polynesia and the Gulf of Mexico, pursuing these wild, solitary shape-shifters.
