Mockingbird-Erskine

This is a great book about compassion and acceptance.  Caitlin has just lost her brother due to a school shooting and she is having a hard time "Dealing With It".  She as Asperger's and her school counselor is trying to assist Caitlin with finding "Closure".  The story is beautifully told from Caitlin's perspective so the reader really gets a better understanding Asperger's and how to have empathy for others.
