This was a good book.

I stumbled across it when cleaning out my mom’s attic and since I don’t think I ever actually read it, I thought I’d give it a try.

I really liked the focus on ability. Sammie proves himself to be a very capable person. As a self-prescribed “special person”, he constantly deals with people telling him what he can and cannot do. I love the way the author showed how a person who is disabled can still take care of himself.

I also really liked that it was in first person so the reader was really put in Sammie’s shoes and sees different issues he faced such as bullying and self doubt.

Mostly the book is about friendship and though it is a weird friendship, I think it goes to show that friends can be found in the most unlikely of places.

Overall, a good, quick read. Kind of weird, but full of heart.
