11.19.2017 - A Boy Made of Blocks

A Boy Made of Blocks

Thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and Keith Stuart for the opportunity to read this amazing book - highly recommended!

Alex and Jody are parents of 8-year-old Sam, a highly-functioning autistic child.  They are worn out from trying to push and pull him through day-to-day life.  So much so that they have lost each other along the way.  A trial separation finds Alex living with his childhood friend and trying to figure out his life.  He's in a job he hates, he can't get past his grief over a childhood loss, and he can't seem to connect to Sam or Jody.  Until Minecraft, a video building game, enters their life and provides a means for Sam and Alex to connect.

I dare you to get through the ending of this book without cheering and crying!  A great read and certainly very inspirational.
