Publisher Description

A nine-year-old autistic boy is discovered hiding near the body of his murdered classmate. Barely able to communicate on the best of days, the experience of witnessing the murder leaves him unable to explain what he saw or heard. It's up to his mother to reach her traumatized son—both to help him heal and to help the police catch the killer.

" BRILLIANT! A real page turner - can't put it down . I really wanted 4 1/2 stars - deducting 1/2 from a perfect 5 stars for the grisly murder . ;-( I loved the softly woven info on Autism in the story , the stories within the story and how they all fell together in the end . "

    " Een hele spannende thriller over een autistische jongen die een moord heeft gezien. Naast de vraag wie het gedaan heeft, is het ook heel mooi en boeiend om te lezen hoe de moeder met haar zoon omgaat. "

    " I liked this way more than "The Curious Incident of Dog at Midnight" or whatever that was. I think this book gave an excellent portrayal of autism. Yea! "

    " I thought this was a pretty good murder mystery involving an autistic child. I felt like the story dragged in some parts, but not a bad read. "

    " One of the best, most fast-moving mysteries I've read in awhile. I read this in one day because I just had to know what happened! "

    " The overall plot had some holes, but it was not a bad portrayal of the little boy with autism, and some of the struggles families face. A quick read. Worth reading, even though it was not amazing. "

    " I always find it so interesting to delve into the mind of someone with autism. Interesting story and twisty plot. I found the many moms who sacrificed for their children with special needs to he endearing characters with warrior spirits. "

    " This book had too many strands. It was almost as if the author couldn't make up her mind what to write about (an autistic child, a murder, special ed kids, bullying, disabilities, etc.) I would not recommend this book. "

    " This was not so much about the autistic boy, but more about the murder mystery. BTW, how are we supposed to suspect a character who isn't even introduced until way late in the book? Lame. "

    — Roberta, 7/11/2013
  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " This story of an autistic boy, who is sole witness to the murder of a classmate, is riveting. The story does sometimes meander away from the main plot, delving into the life of Adam's mother and her past and the lives of her friends, but overall, a very satisfying read. "

  • Overall Performance: 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5

    " This was a relatively quick read because it had a good set of characters and storyline that kept it moving. The author, who has her own child with Autism, brought it as an element into the story in a meaningful way. "

    " Interesting reading about autisim...just wished it had stayed on topic. The problems with the adults was a little too much for the story. "

    " Started out strong, fell apart at the end. Too many characters and story lines. The older kids' actions weren't believable. I didn't care for Chris and Evelyn, again too many extra characters. I'm still lost about the conflict between Suzette and Cara, what conflict/fight? "

    " Such an interesting piece of fiction recommended by one of the mom's i work with who has an autistic son. It has great insight into this type of experience while also being a great mystery "who-dunnit" book. Some amusing characters too! "

    " Story itself was so-so and at times a little confusing (though, that could be because I read it mostly at bedtime), but it was definitely informative with regards to autism. "

    " I didn't find the majority of the characters in this book believable. They were too odd to be real and there were to few "normal" people. I didn't find the reason for the murder or the person who commited the murder likely. "
