I found this book to be very interesting. The overall conceit of the book (the autobiographical alphabet essay) and the alphabetical chapter titles provided a solid structure. Candice’s efforts realistically ended in mishap, but in the good kind that still seems to work out. Unlike other books with autistic narrators, Candice’s lack of social skills makes her more endearing, rather than less relatable.

A cute book about an unusual girl trying to fix her family using her very straight forward methods. Its sweet and emotional. I loved the characters. The story is shorter but it is to be expected for a book for children. Highly recommend reading it.

Fun, witty, and I love Candice’s perspective. Love this autistic little girl with humming stims and a notepad.
