good book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I liked reading about susan, she seemed like a gifted person caught up in her own world. I myself love playing piano so it was interesting to read about susan though she had a disability. This book also shows that it's not nice to make fun of people who are a little bit different from you.
Secret Of Susan

As you all know, Kristy has a friend who is an autistic child named Susan. I remembered when Zack Wolfson and Mel Tucker made fun of her. Mrs. Feldon said that if she was going to the bathroom she justs goes by hereself. I really Loved this book. Then Kristy learns an amazing secret from Susan.

I don't think I am in a position to judge Ann's research or accuracy on Autism,but I found it an interesting and sad book.I think,perhaps,Ann should have explained better that Susan was actually a genius,and the word retarted may have featured a few too many times.*Kristy's kind heart is shown in this story as she is desperate to reach Susan who is lost in some world of her own.Kristy also tries to get through to the bullies who make fun of Susan.
Not one of Ann M. Martin's best

This book was pretty good and worth my time, but the text is false in the leading that autistic people cannot be reached, though many autistic persons do have a(some) special talent(s), such as Susan's amazing piano ability.

This was a very good book. Kristy is sitting for Susan Felder who's autistic. Kristy is very determined to make Susan better. It takes a few incidents for Kristy to realize that some things are beyond her control.
