I think what resonated with me so much about this book is the fact that the author is the mother of a special needs child. I've never read a book a book like this, with the point of view so beautifully spelled out from the child. She has a great perspective of what life would be like to be an autistic child. I loved the descriptions of the characters' thoughts and feelings. What a fantastic and unbreakable bond between Franny and Matilda!

I received this book as a Goodreads First Read drawing.
