Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Realistic, well-written story with some good humorous touches. I can see fans of Jack Gantos's Joey Pigza stories apprecitating this character. ( ) The story of an asperger/ADHD boy and the challenges he faces at school and at home as he prepares to meet the father he hasn't seen in eight years. Sensitively told but perhaps not enough action to meet the reading needs of its target audience. We all have an "Aaron" in our lives. This book helps us understand a little about what it is like to be him. no reviews | add a review

HTML: In this stand-alone sequel to The Mealworm Diaries, Aaron is anxiously waiting for his father to return for the first time since Aaron's mother's death eight years earlier. Aaron works hard with a counselor at school, but he still has problems getting along with and understanding other kids, and he's worried that his dad will think he's weird. As well as having to confront Tufan, the class bully, Aaron must find ways to cope with the fact that his dad now has a pregnant wife and his beloved Gran needs surgery. In the end, his greatest strength is not his intelligence or his sense of humor, but the openness and warmth of his heart. .No library descriptions found. |
