Thanks so much to NetGalley, the publisher and author for giving me the opportunity to read, review and now tell everyone about how AMAZING this book is! And this is a debut novel to boot?
You will totally fall in love with Ginny Moon - a 14-year-old autistic girl who was removed from her birth mom because of abuse and neglect. She finally has a Forever Mom and Dad and lives in the Blue House. She goes to school, plays the flute, competes in Special Olympics, has her calendar so she knows exactly what will happen every day, and loves Michael Jackson. So why is she desperate to get kidnapped by her birth mom? Meanwhile, her adoptive parents are struggling - a new baby is in the picture, stress levels are high and Ginny is acting out more and more.
This book reminds me of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night - an amazing peek into the world of an autistic child. But this book goes even further and explores the adoptive parents' world too - everything isn't always sunshine and roses. This book explores all those true feelings and emotions in such a wonderful way.
I can't say enough about this book - it is a must read. Mark your calendars for the release day and don't miss it!
