5.0

This book has easily found its place in my favourite novels of all time. Such a profound read.

Being a secondary school teacher, I have had the pleasure of teaching many pupils with Asperger's and this book really tore at my heart and emotions. Reading a novel from the point of view of this young boy has really given me something to think about. We all view and understand the world in completely different ways, but how often done manage to actually put ourselves in someone else's shoes?

I adored everything about this book, especially the small but significant touches, such as the page numbers. Such a truly wonderful read that I will treasure in my heart for years to come.
