GREAT BOOK!
I just finished this AMAZING book and i absolutely LOVED it! I could even kind of relate to Catherine. It sends out great messages and there was not ONE time in the book where I was bored! If I had to be concerned about ANYTHING I would say there is the tiniest bit of romance (a 12 yr old girl goes to a dance with a 14 yr old boy and there is some EXTREMELY mild flirting) Anyone under 10 could read it but I think kids from 10-14 would understand Catherine and her feelings more.

Great for kids 9-12.
I think it is great for kids 9-12. It gives kids a look of what atrium is and it treats people who a lot nicer.

perfect for tweens
is a pretty good book I like how Catherine the main character always tried to stick up for David her brother with autism even when she was sort of frustrated and she was really nice to Jason a boy who goes to her brothers occupational therapy “OCT” who is not able to talk and he has a communication book . Catherine likes to draw and during “OCT” Miss Morehouse Jason’s mom catches Catherine drawing a picture of Jason and than she asks Catherine to draw a picture for some of the communication book. It sends a great message and I would think tweens would like it.

very good messages and lessons to learn for young kids.
It is a very good book. This book was interesting and had an easy messing to send. I think a 12 year old would be a little board. 8+ would really enjoy this book. I did enjoy this book much. It is a very good book to teach young kids how every one is different and that is okay to have a friend in a wheel chair.

What will Catherine do?!
I think that Cynthia Lord did a really good job making such a big deal into a loose, easy going, fun novel. It can make you laugh at times and sometimes frown. I really felt hate for Catherine, and that's good! Catherine always wanted a friend, and she gets what she wants! Her friend is pretty, and she can't help to feel compared. Her little brother has autism, and she finds that embarrassing. There's Jason, Ryan, and her mom and dad! Catherine wants to make friends with her neighbor, but is her neighbor nice, or using her? Does jason have a sweet crush on her? What will Ryan do next!? Catherine wants attention, what will she ever do?!

Great book for any age
The book is great for any age, but it is 200 paages, so it may be too long for young children.

Boring but on the upside good role models. -.-
This story gives off a good message and all but I personaly don't like the author's style of writing. The writing is like, "I walk to the couch" and it's not past tense. There isn't really any big events in this book either. She just means this guy and makes him drawings. THAT'S IT. It makes it NOT interesting.Some people may not agree with me, but that's my opinion with some facts in it. (if that even makes sense.) overall, 8 out of 10. -...-

I think that it is a very nice and interesting book that I would love to read again. However, I can't find the climax in the book that is the only problem!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :P :D XD

great for ages 8-12
I really liked this book because it tells a very good story on a boy that has Autism. His sister has to watch over him and doesn’t always have a normal life. Also I really like that Catherine helps Jason a lot throughout the book with his communication. I also enjoyed learning about different types of Autism. I don’t really have any negative statements about the book.

good messages and it keeps you hooked
I thought it taught me a lot of things about people that are different than me and that I should treat them like any other person. It’s not an action book but it does have a good message and it keeps you hooked.
