Would you recommend this book?

Title: The Sea of Monsters
Author: Rick Riordan
Recommend: Yes, this is book two of the Percy Jackson series which I recommend. Percy and other children of the Greek gods have adhd, dislexia and other neurodivergence.

Title: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Author: Mark Haddon

I'd highly recommend this book. It's never named directly what kind of condition main character has, but it seems to be autism. Great writing, very rewarding read.

Title: The Mystery Guest
Author: Nita Prose
Recommend: Yes, I ended up giving it 3 stars right down the middle, but if you enjoy a cozy mystery, then you'd enjoy this one.

Title: The Reason I Jump: the Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism
Author: Naoki Higashida
Would you recommend this book? Yes, this must be my year of reading memoirs. I love own voices books anyway, and hearing Naoki's thoughts, reflections, and translations of his lived experiences of this world were eye-opening, even spending time with quite a few neurodivergent friends.

Title: The Rosie Project
Author: Graeme Simsion
Would you recommend this book? Yes

I loved this story of a genetics scientist who is inept at social relationships looking for a wife just because someone told him he'd make a good husband...coupled with a woman who is looking for her biological father. What a trip as each brings their expectations to each search!
