I think this book is great for kids because it teaches them people who have autism are just as equal. I watched a show about someone with autism and I learned a lot. Reading this book taught me more and I had a lot of empathy for Rose. This book is perfect for 5th grade. It had a lot of emotions. In the beginning I saw the sweet suzie thing and looked it up. I loved this book. Remember this is coming from a 5th grader and for being a very negative person I loved this!
