Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine


Mockingbird is a touching and hopeful story about a child, Caitlin with Asperger’s syndrome.  Caitlin Smith is a fifth grader that has lost her brother in a school shooting who was Caitlin biggest cheerleader.  The loss of her brother causes her father further pain and adds to the loss of his wife and Caitlin’s mother.  When Devon dies he leaves a eagles scout project undone.  Caitlin and her father work together to complete the project in Devon’s name and bring them closer together along with some closure.
