It's a little sad at times but is also funny to.

This book is brilliant! The main character is a girl with a special type of Autism which makes her very different from her classmates. She has a dog called Rain who is the lost dog of the story.

A bit boring

Is lovly book abaut autistic girl and her new dog, the ar the best friends and the have nice time together and also is many sad events with happy end.

This book was really good because it was very exciting but a little bit sad in some parts to.

A wonderful book. Made me laugh, made me cry. The relationship between Rose and her dog, Rain, is so well portrayed, as are all relationships in the book. I learnt a lot about autism and homonyms! It's an inspiring read, highly recommended.

"Quite simply I cannot remember when I last enjoyed reading a book as much as this one. Ann. M. Martin is an author new to me. In creating the central character, Rose Howard, a young girl living in New York, who is born with high functioning autism and a predilection for collecting homonyms, (if you don’t know what these are look them up on Google!), Martin has created a highly engaging literary figure to rival Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird, Billy Casper in Kes and of course the legendary Christopher John Francis Boone.
If ever a new novel deserved to be read by a wide audience then this one should feature at the top of any reading group list. The book made me feel many emotions but most of all, sheer joy at being able to share in this wonderful piece of storytelling. To say more would spoil the enjoyment that anyone reading this book will surely have. It’s a quick read and should be read by everyone on the short listing panel.
Thank you very much for introducing me to this wonderful book and author." Richard

"Let’s be clear – THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING. On the cover it is likened to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time, but I think it is better.
This is a story of 11 year old Rose who is autistic and struggles to understand the world around her. She lives with a father who doesn’t understand her and her dog who goes missing. Her only beacon of hope is Uncle Wheldon, who you immediately warm to.
It was a fantastic quick read and kept me engrossed from page 1. I actually missed my stop on the bus because I was so engaged with this story. I loved all the supplementary characters from the learning support teacher to the students in her class.
I want to find out about what happened to Uncle Wheldon and Rose. I hope she writes a sequel to this." Apryl
