Mockingbird is a sweet yet deeply touching middle-grade novel about Caitlin, a young girl affected by Asperger and her struggles to understand society, friendship and, on top of all that, grief.

The fact that we can get to see the world through her eyes makes the novel unique, and her behaviours that might seem odd from the outside, become Cristal clear.

I found the book was incredibly insightful and a nice reading if you are looking to better understand how a person with asperger sees the world. On top of that, it makes the case for early intervention and the importance of a support network outside of family and friends, in this case the one that the education system might provide when resources are present.

Highly recommend this read !
