Review Round Up!
Reviews for Non Verbal are glowing! I am overwhelmed by the positive love and support.
This book was pure amazing. I loved that it was told from the point of view of Emerson. This book hit for me. Hit so many points. I was gutted when she was only trying to express herself but was so misunderstood in what she was doing and what it meant. I couldn’t imagine. I was in school with an I.E.P. And I went to a special room to take my tests and get extra help and some of those kids were like Emerson some could speak but couldn’t be left alone but k also saw how teachers talked about them rather than to them and as a student who was once in that position it’s awful feeling. Truly is. I highly recommend this book. Truly a great read. -Afelton6212

Love the front cover of Non verbal and the age range is for young teenages. Non verbal is written beautifully and Molly writting style is lovely and easy to get into. The story is moving and captivating. The story about Emerson who is autistic and you following her story with the difficulties she has to go through. This is a moving story written in first person. I felt lots of emotions reading Non Verbal. Brilliant 5 stars. -Tea Leaves and Book Leaves

I found this book to be very insightful and thought provoking. There were so many parts of this book that hit home, in particular the parts where Emerson talked about the meetings where no one talked to her, only about her. I was heartbroken for her when she tried so hard to express how she was feeling, but was misunderstood. I thought this book was excellent and have recommended it to friends. -TWylie Book Addict

This book was very close to my heart. This story is emotional but also light hearted. We learn through the story about ASD and how it effects the whole family. -paula, IG

This story drew me in from the first paragraph. Emerson is an erudite and astute narrator but at the same time the narrative voice stays consistent as that of a teenaged girl who has led a very sheltered and restricted life. I warmed to Emerson immediately and I was surprised at how quickly I was drawn into the story. I found her dreams of beings ‘words me’ who could talk and have normal friendships particularly poignant. This felt like a novel way of looking at the effects of ASD on a family. It’s a very moving story but with light hearted moments and a positive ending. -Morna reads books, IG

The story itself was so wonderfully written, it drew me in straight away. I read the whole book in one sitting as I couldn’t put it down. The character of Emerson’s mother really tugged on my heartstrings as you can see the absolute love she has for her daughter as well as the trials and tribulations she goes through everyday trying to ensure Emerson’s safety. Non-Verbal is a brilliant book showing the life of a teenager with ASD as well as all the people involved in her life and how they are affected by it. A really thought-provoking book. Highly recommend! -Mrs. McKenzie Reads, IG
