simsarah79 's review for:
Ginny Moon
by Benjamin Ludwig
This was a well written account of an autistic girl who was in the care of a very unfit mother and then adopted into a forever family who thought they couldn't have kids.
Then they got pregnant and now all sorts of things come up.
Ginny is 14 and is having a hard time forgetting her "baby doll" since she took very good care of her when she lived with Wendy, her mother. Ginny lived with her mother until she was 9 and practically emaciated and abused. She vaguely remembers this but she is stuck on wanting her baby doll and will do anything to get it, including contacting her mother on Facebook even though she's not supposed to have any contact with her. Her forever parents are doing as best of a job as they can- but Ginny is very trying and as a reader I wanted to scream JUST STOP THIS CRAP!!! but as I read and got more into Ginny's world and the story unfolded I started to understand.
This can probably be somewhat compared to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, maybe not as profound but just as meaningful and interesting about children who are a little different but very special.
