Is Marlee good autism representation? The selective mutism, the math special interest, the wet sock aversion

Fascinating read about the effort to desegregate schools in Arkansas in 1958. The characters through whom the story unfolded were complex and interesting !

“And even though I was worried about what was going to happen next, I felt happier than I had for a long time.”

Same girl

"That night I laid in bed wondering how many other times David had grinned and fooled me, even though he felt awful inside. The idea that my big brother sometimes felt not good enough, was strange and a bit scary."

Hitting me with all the sibling quotes today.😭

"It was embarrassing, I was almost 13, I shouldn't need my older sister to fuss over me and tell me what to do, but I did. Without her, I was afraid I'd just get quieter, and quieter."

Me getting emotional over this scene at 19, especially when Marlee said, "Come back". 🥲#relatable

I don’t think I read about the kkk when I was a kid…

This book is so boring
