Mockingbird

In Caitlinâ€™s world, everything is black or white. Things are good or bad. Anything in between is confusing. Thatâ€™s the stuff Caitlinâ€™s older brother, Devon, has always explained. But now Devonâ€™s dead and Dad is no help at all. Caitlin wants to get over it, but as an eleven-year-old girl with Aspergerâ€™s, she doesnâ€™t know how. When she reads the definition of closure, she realizes that is what she needs. In her search for it, Caitlin discovers that not everything is black and whiteâ€”the world is full of colorsâ€”messy and beautiful.
Kathryn Erskine has written a must-read gem, one of the most moving novels of the year.
