Asperger's and Girls
Review Date: 9/4/2014


Most of the information is just on why girls are not diagnosed as much and how to talk to girls about feminie issues. The book talks about how to talk to girls with aspergers about puberty and menstrating and dating. It is more things that you would discuss witha girl aspy versus a boy aspy. No really "wow" moments that make this book worth reading more than others

Second book in the series. A Very good book, but would be hard to follow without having read A Fistful of Sky.

Sideways Stories from Wayside School (Wayside School, Bk 1)
Review Date: 6/9/2011


This is a great book. I used it to help my daughter read chapter books. This is a collection of short stories that when read in order tell the story of the school year at this funny and strange school. My daughter laughed at the end of each very short story and couldn't wait to read more. This version of the book does have smaller printing than other versions.

Jenny has always believed in unicorns, even though she's never seen one. Now Jenny and her family are staying at a place called Unicorn Crossing. There must be Unicorns here!
