Shocking, moving, eye-opening. Another book giving insight into what it’s like to be someone very different from me. There’s a lot of chat about empathy at the moment and this book is really good at helping to show what it’s like to be autistic. Addie is a wonderful character, swinging from being unable to find words at all in some immensely stressful situations to beautiful eloquence about the things that matter to her.
Everyone should read this to be reminded that difference is good, and we must never reject those who are not the same as us.
As for Miss Murphy… I just don’t have words for anyone who can behave like that!

Q cuqui, para ser de niños los personajes son bastante complejos y cometen errores. Me gusta como intenta explicar las razones que llevan a los antagonistas a actuar como lo hacen, los trata con empatia sin llegar a excusarlos. Da la sensación que la autora reescribe su infancia para curarla, que ha sido capaz de reflexionar sobre ella y reescribirla tratando con mucho cariño a todos los personajes, para que el resto podamos aprender de ellos. Está guay ver el mundo como la prota autista.
