The novel that gives you access to autism!
Torn by a desire for authenticity that she has always been denied, an autistic child runs away from home: for an entire summer, she squats in a campsite. Not conforming to what is expected of a girl, she decides to live as a boy and, since her words hurt others, she locks herself into silence.

Pas de dédidace, mais de belles suprises en l'ouvrant
J'étais supposé recevoir le livre lors de la conférence du 11 avril dernier, mais il m'a plutôt été posté. Néamoins, il y a un petit mot au tout début du livre, de même que 4 cartes d'affaire. Par ailleurs, comme j'était un participant à la conférence mentionnée plus tôt, j'ai obtenu 12% de rabais ainsi que la livraison gratuite. Je donne donc la note de 4/5 pour cette commande.
