I love and adore these Cody companion books! They are like MG and children's chapter (or two) a night perfection. They have wonderful illustrations, too.

AUTISM

ISSUE RELATED

I love the storyline and the main character, Ginny. Her Forever Father is pretty cool, too. It is an extremely simplistic book. The writing isn't very writerly. I realize that the adults are speaking concisely and basically because of Ginny's autism, but when they are talking to each other it is the same. The adult to adult conversations need to be utilized to to give some more depth to the story. It has been slow moving too, but has picked up speed now just past the halfway point.
