My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Being an educator, I absolutely fell in love with Emerson and her struggles to fit into a verbal, speaking world; I love trying to put myself in students’s shoes to enhance my practice. Noneducators and educators alike will find her very likable, and the realism in the book between the interactions between Emerson and her parents, parents and the teachers, etc. make the story very realistic and poignant to any reader.

Be warned, however, to have tissues nearby- Emerson tries so hard to adapt and find her place in the world, I got a little teary with her struggles (which I normally don’t with books). The writing is wonderful, I didn’t put it down until I finished the entire book in one sitting. Molly Zenk captures the teenage world perfectly and makes one aware of a very difficult time period for a special girl Emerson.

Fantastic book. As the parent of an autistic adult and 4 autistic grandchildren, I feel that the author has done a really good job of writing and giving the perspective of both the parents and of Emerson. Their life is complicated. I couldn’t put this book down. It grabbed my heartstrings and just kept me reading all the way through. All the emotions were felt. I will be buying and gifting this one to friends and teachers. It is deserving of more than 5 stars if I were allowed to give it more than that. Excellent book that I fell all should read.

Hosted by Itsy Bitsy Book Bits
Genre – YA, Family
Page Count – 148
Severely autistic middle schooler Emerson Rayne’s words disappeared when she was fifteen months old, but that doesn’t mean she has no voice.  As she navigates her day-to-day world of friendships, bullies, and over protective, over stressed parents, Emerson’s difficult but manageable frustrations turn to self-injurious behaviors and mental and emotional instability. Emerson’s parents fight to find her support and treatment in health and education systems that have little options for intensive needs teens.  Inspired by a true story.
