Classic Middle Grade Fiction
15 April 2024
"A fictional account of a family's struggle to adapt to the homecoming of a 13 year-old child with developmental disabilities, it's written from her younger brother's point of view. There are ongoing problems but despite the frustrations and anxiety, there is humor --and drama--throughout.

The end is realistic, not exactly happy, but the book ends on a positive note.

This book, which was originally published in 1978, is an updated version of a popular children's classic, taught in

elementary schools and published in many languages. It inspired a TV movie and a board game, was sold in bookstores throughout the United States and was available in most American libraries with a children's book section.

The theme of what is no longer called ""retarded"" is now known by many other names: autistic, mentally challenged, neurodivergent, mentally challenged, and so on. It is especially relevant today.

today."
