Overall, a very good read, and our group (a majority of which are teachers) wished they had read this years ago in terms of understanding issues they face in teaching children with autism. There are quite a few characters in the book and it was somewhat hard to keep track of them, this was a very insightful, interesting book. There were a few loose ends that we didn't feel got tied up, but overall, we really enjoyed it.

I liked the book, but I did not like the ending. I did not like the fact that she brought in a character that was not vital to the story to end it. I also thought there were too many characters to keep track of. I found myself reading parts to find out who was who.
