review 1: More admirable than enjoyable. Kerz does such a masterful job of showing us the heart of a boy who is "different" (perhaps on the spectrum but never identified as such) that I wanted to give this book four stars for courage and clarity. But, alas, it needed to be more fun for that rating. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to understand better kids who seem always to be out of step with the world, especially kids who are aware of this and suffer for their insight.
review 2: This stand alone sequel to "Mealworm Diaries" is actually deserving of a 3.5 and not a 3. I read the previous book and liked it, but I think that this is actually a stronger book. Aaron, a character from "Mealworm Diaries" is the feature of this story, and while it doesn't explicitly ... morestate it in the text, he has some kind of Autism Spectrum Disorder. He's extremely self-aware, and he knows that he comes off being weird, but despite his quirks, he's got a big heart and always means well, which makes him an interesting and compelling character to read about. less
