In our library area it seemed like the sleeper of the Printz Honor and Award books this year. No library had it until we ordered it after the winners were announced. Taylor Jane is a young woman with asperger's who is trying very hard to become independent. She travels to France to work as a personal care assistant to her mother's boyfriend's son who has cystic fibrosis and in Taylor's eyes her mother invites herself along. Taylor is also working on a journal where she talks about her past, her feelings and sometimes her dreams. I was very impressed by this book. Firstly even though it is the final book in a trilogy it most definitely works as a stand alone. I also have never read about someone who has asperger's before. I know several people who have asperger's and autism and I felt like this book really made me understand some of how they process their emotions and how difficult that is. Taylor Jane's struggle with her mother to be seen as an adult and allowed to make decisions for herself is extremely relate-able to everyone. I see this as something that will really draw the reader in and then offer a perspective they have never given much thought to before unless their are people with asperger's in their life. This is well worth reading and I'm glad I got the opportunity to read it. I didn't know what to expect when I first got this book.

She sees her path to independence challenged by the fact that she has Asperger’s Syndrome, but if she can have a resume so that she can get job, she will one day be able to live on her own. Though this book is third in a trilogy, it stands on its own. Taylor is a fully realized character looking for her own identity, and her struggle towards independence is universal. The first-person narrative is authentic, and having read this back to back with The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, I found that this title did more to bring an understanding of what life is like with Asperger’s and the real day-to-day challenges and desires. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
