Ginny Moon
by Benjamin Ludwig
3.5 stars
I liked The Original Ginny Moon, but the book would have benefitted from more editing. The base story is good, but the story line is fairly repetitive and should have wrapped up long before it did. Benjamin Ludwig and his wife adopted a teenager with autism, and his insight into an autistic child’s behavior is insightful. The main character, Ginny Moon, is autistic and cannot come to terms with the idea that she will never live with her birth mother again. She has lived in numerous foster homes and tries to leave each one in search of her birth mother, not understanding that her birth mother cannot raise her. While Ginny tries to communicate her anger and hopelessness , she struggles to find the right way to explain her distress. I found that part of the book very informative and was fascinated with his insight into Ginny’s mind. I did enjoy the book and was glad I read it, but I wished numerous times that it was shorter. Thanks to Park Row Books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
