Mockingbird

Caitlin is an eleven year old with Asperger's who's trying to break through her Asperger's to help her dad cope with the loss of her big brother Devon. It's not at all easy for Caitlin because Devon who was the one who worked with Caitlin on Working At It. But since The Day Our World Fell Apart, Caitlin doesn't have Devon anymore and she decides that she and her dad need Closure. And to get Closure, Caitlin has decided they will finish Devon's Chest, his Eagle Scout project which is under a sheet in their living room and has been since The Day Our World Fell Apart.

Whew, I requested this young adult book on Shelf Awareness solely based on the cover. When I opened it after House Rules, I still knew nothing about it. Two hours later, when I finished the book, my emotions had run the gamut. Laughter and tears, both multiple times. Caitlin isn't the only character you'll adore and connect with in this story. My advice? Pick up House Rules and Mockingbird when it's released in April and read them together while still fresh in mind. Don't miss this book though.
