What may, at first, seem a light-hearted portrayal of playground politics becomes something brave and brilliant, which both entertains and informs. Kirsten Heskeths writing is assured and the pace never falters... a total must-read debut. Claire Dyer, author of The Moment
This accomplished debut is gripping, at times heart-breaking and wonderfully well-written. It sheds a piercing light on the choices and difficulties experienced when Aspergers is a part of family life, but also shows the strength and power of courage, love and persistence. A searing and honest look at a family reaching breaking point. Maddie Please, author of The Summer of Second Chances
