Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine
Good and strong and beautiful…
Ten year old Caitlin’s world had always been black and white. Anything else was confusing; but her brother, Devon, helped her understand. Then tragedy struck, and now nothing makes sense. As a girl with Apergers’s syndrome, Caitlin turns to what she does know- textbooks and dictionaries. And after reading the definition of closure (‘klo-zher), she realizes that this is what everyone needs. In her search for closure, she discovers that black and white are surrounded by shades of gray, and that those are beautiful and necessary for healing.
An intriguing representation of Autism.
