What a beautiful and heart-wrenching story this was. Cooper is a boy who struggles with a disorder similar to autism. He has OCD - or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He believes unless he does certian things in certain ways, his family will perish. The Father character in this book can not handle his son's uniqueness and those scenes are truly troubling. I loved the back story of the loving grandfather, as well as the kind friend who looks past Cooper's sometimes-embarrassing behaviors and connects with him. A few mild swearwords make this a book for older elementary students, but one that should not be missed. (FIC ORE)
