Mockingbird : (Mok'ing-bûrd)
By Kathryn Erskine
Published by Penguin Group, Inc., 2011
256 pages (paperback)
Caitlin
has Asperger's. The world according to her is black and white; anything in
between is confusing. Before, when things got confusing, Caitlin went to her
older brother, Devon, for help. But Devon has died, and Caitlin's dad is so
distraught that he is just not helpful. Caitlin wants everything to go back to
the way things were, but she doesn't know how to do that. Then she comes across
the word closure- and she realizes this is what she needs. And in her search
for it, Caitlin discovers that the world may not be black and white after all. (from barnesandnoble.com)
I
liked the emotions because she really did miss her brother. Maybe [if the book
was] longer it would be better. I would like to read another chapter or two.
Yes [I would recommend this book], because it relates or could relate to how
some people feel.
