I am aware most of my reviews are for fantasy novels so heres a change of pace. "Marcelo in the Real World" gives you a first hand look in the life of a boy with Asperger's syndrome. Asperger's syndrome is often labeled under the Autism spectrum disorder umbrella. We are guided by Marcelo into the problems he faces in life due to his disorder. Challenged by everyday events that may be simple to everyday people are a tedious complex tango to Marcello. The story takes you into the music that is Autism. "Marcelo in the Real World" is a musically inspiring story that lets its readers put their feet in someone elses shoes. Francisco Stork takes a delicate topic and weaves it into a compelling and deeply spiritual book. There may not be any dragons to be slain in this book but it sure makes the reader think and reflect on life.
"Marcelo in the Real World" is Buzz Worthy because it opens the mind and hearts of its readers. It gives an understanding and tolerance to a growing disorder through the mind of Marcelo.
This would also be a great read if your teacher wants you to do a book report
after reading this post I read "Marcello in the Real World". I personally loved it and I had to thank you on introducing it to me. Thank you so much :)
ReplyDeleteI have a book that I've recently read and I think you may like it. It's called "Things Not Seen" by Andrew Clements. I couldn't seem to put it down so I thought I'd suggest it to you. If you read it tell me how you like it :)
thanks so much for your time and blog

Wow Thanks A. C. King, that means a lot to me. Thank you even more for suggesting a book to read, im going to get right on it after i finish Francisco Strork's latest book. I am a fan of Andrew Clement. I read "Frindle" and "Laundry News." "Things Not Seen" doesnt look like his usual work so im going to check it out. Thank you again
