A review by bookgirl1209
Ginny Moon by Benjamin Ludwig
3.0
3 stars because I liked the plot and Ginny, 1 star for every adult in this book that deals (badly) with Ginny.
The portrayal of Ginny and her autism is very well done.
The adults who are supposed to advocate and care for Ginny are awful. Not one of them advocates or even listens to Ginny. They seem to have to be reminded constantly of how she relates to the world, people, things, how she processes. Shouldn't they KNOW all this? I mean, I can understand the occasional asking of two questions - Ginny can only answer ONE question at a time. But the complete disregard of Ginny's thought process so that the adults - including her counsellor - can do what they think Ginny should do was aggravating. Or in Ginny's words - 'it was tedious'
