The book is Amazing! Dear student gives life lessons
tHis bOOk Is gReaT.
it was good
While I liked the parts of the book about Autumn and her challenges, I could not really get into the story because I could not believe that her dad would leave their family to join the Peace Corps. Seriously??? I don't like how this book "normalizes" her dad leaving them for that reason. It's unrealistic, imho, that Autumn and her mom and sister would really support her dad leaving them for his own selfish reasons. It's like normalizing abuse and this story is just normalizing accepting being treated like that. That is what I kept thinking about throughout this whole SAD story. I would not recommend this book to other kids because, while it is interesting to read about Autumn's courage at school, it ultimately tries to make the case that what her father did to her and her family is okay. And it's not.
in this book the main character goes throue a not real rollercoster
