An average person is able to understand and accept the loss of a loved one. In Mockingbird,
Kathryn Erskine allows the reader to read from a different perspective. The story is told through ten year-old
Caitlin’s view.
Caitlin is autistic and the only person who understood her was her brother
Devon. Though,
Caitlin’s life is turned upside down when her brother is killed in a school shooting. Now we see how
Caitlin deals with the problems resulting from her brother’s death. Many people have a similar reaction to a death of someone they know, but in Mockingbird, we are able to see how someone with autism handles the situation. This book allows the reader to really walk in another person’s shoes and live their life. I recommend Mockingbird to readers who enjoy realistic-fiction and I really suggest that you read it!-

The plot is different since school shootings never happen in a middle school like it did in this book!

This book seems really interesting. It would be fun to see how somebody that's different acts towards a situation most people face. I would like to read this book and see how Caitlin deals with this situation. What are some of the things she struggles with after losing her brother?
