What a sweet and hopeful adventure ! All the Small Wonderful Things is a story of courage, family and friendship : Eleven-year-old Alex will soon start middle school and he knows it will be different and difficult. Alex is autistic and he has two passions : dogs and video games. He really hopes he can make friends that will help him through big transitions and with whom he can share his interests. 

Alex thinks he can easily make friends by winning a trophy at Paws Dog Show, so the young boy works very hard with his best friend Kevin, a cute Cockapoo. Throughout his journey, Alex meets new friends and realizes that what he wishes for with all his heart was there all along.

I loved the simplicity and all the heartwarming moments of this middle grade novel. Alex is a wonderful character and his friendship quest is full of cute surprises.
