Lancashire Evening PostĪn exceptionally moving story. There's a message within these pages for all of us. Caitlin's long and sometimes painful journey to some kind of understanding is exquisitely and lovingly crafted by Erskine.

The Independent on SundayĪ straight-talking, haunting and yet ultimately uplifting young adult novel. Kathryn Erskine's well observed Mockingbird uses first person narration to show us how literal world and her continual misunderstandings make her appear tactless, obtuse and uncaring although she is none of those things. Sharon Creech, Nerbery Medal winning authorĪsperger's syndrome and high school shootings suggest a gruelling read but Erskine tackles such subjects with sensitivity and great insight. The Birmingham PostĪ lovely, perceptive and poignant story. The Daily MailĪn incredible story of loss and recovery.a remarkable book. The GuardianĪ sensitively written and very moving story, not just in the way it presents Caitlin's view of the world, but in the portrait it paints of individuals struggling to come to terms with grief while remaining a community. Kathryn Erskine's evocation of Asperger thinking is impressive and sensitively managed.
