The way this book happens to stay done, I enjoyed it. It explained it to me in a way I could understand. I see I may or not have some of the symptoms even though I was not diagnosed with this, and I could have some of the symptoms or overlap with others. I get frustrated with a loud noise, and I have high-functioning autism. I could see some overlap between the symptoms and the other mental illnesses out there. So be sure to get some help and professional help.
This book will help children to understand and learn to communicate with someone who has SPD. It is also a good resource for parents and teachers in their classrooms. The pictures remain done well. They are crisp and enjoyable to look at in the book. This book will help those who have sensory processing disorder and need help putting words to their feelings and helping them communicate with their parents and others.

Joe at 17, is the brother left to deal with the death of his 12 year old brother. His father manages to get himself in to trouble, and in to prison. His mother can’t cope. And Joe is struggling too. He is in an environment where it is all too easy for him to take the wrong path and end up like his father. Involved with the wrong people and in prison.
We see flashbacks to Finn as he is diagnosed with Leukaemia and how he copes with the treatment. He is such a happy, generous boy, who worries more about everyone else than about himself.
I don’t want to give much away, but Fiona Scarlett has created two boys who are wonderful human beings, despite the hand that has been dealt to them.
I adored this book. It still gives me a lump in my throat when I’m writing about it, never mind speaking to people about it - I’ll point them in this direction, I think.
It’s like the meme that says “This book has destroyed me and broken my heart. You MUST read it”
So yeah, just read it.

I'm sorry but I can't do it. I can't carry on reading this strange book. DNF @ 22%.
When I saw Cecelia on Lorraine Kelly talking about this the other day I decided to give it a go after humming and hawing about it for a long time. I've only ever attempted to read one book by the author before and the way it was written put me off.
I think the same happened for me with this. It wasn't smooth and was often repetitive, which annoyed me a little. The info overload and lots of inner turmoil over her sudden realisation that the flawed were not being treated right also pushed me to my limit.
If I'd had enough time to get to know the characters I might have cared a little more about what was going on but we didn't so I...didn't. The situation Celestine found herself in didn't bring me any feelings at all. There was one small bright spark on the horizon (the guy in the cell next door--bear in mind I'm a sucker for the slightest hint of romance) and even THAT couldn't persuade me to keep reading.
It seems me and this author are just not destined to get along.
