From what the summary says it sounds like Wonder by R.J. Palacio, just from his sister's POV. Is that what this book was like? I enjoyed Wonder, and I would love to read it from the sisters POV...

In this book David, the main character has autism, which prohibits his brain from functioning well enough to write an entire book from his perspective. His sister does an amazing job of relaying her feelings of being in public with her autistic brother and how that affects her relationships with family and friends.(less)

Would you think this is an appropriate read-aloud for a class of typical third graders? Well, mostly typical. About a third of the class reading on a second grade level. I would really appreciate any and all feedback on this, especially teachers.

It does talk about some deeper subjects like disabilities. I think it is good for kids to read, so that they realize that kids with disabilities are just like us.(less)

Ableism galore. Disgusting how the main character talks about her autistic brother. I feel like the author thinks living with an autistic person is a huge burden, more so than actually HAVING autism. I'm not the only one who feels this way, right?

The author is trying to explain that kids can have a hard time coping with hard things. The sister still loves her brother but it can be a challenge sometimes. It can be hard for the whole family but the author wants to show that having autism isn't horrible. (less)
