Mockingbird

Mockingbird - Kathryn Erskine To say that Caitlin has a tough life is an understatement. Her brother, Devon, was murdered at a shooting spree in the middle school, her mother died when she was an infant and did I mention that she has Asperger's Syndrome and has no friends? This heartwarming story, told in Caitlin's voice, follows her struggles to come to closure over her brother's death. Although the plot is a bit unrealistic, I really enjoyed hearing the story told through a young girl with Asperger's. Not only was the hearing about the tragedy through a very innocent voice less horrific, it was revealing to see how every life is a struggle when you are wired so differently.
