A very well researched novel which, alongside Picoult's usual 'heading to a trial' plot, explores many facets of and perspectives on Asperger's Syndrome. The potential and common effects of AS on siblings is especially well documented here. As gripping and informative a book as Nineteen Minutes

Great Scott, those ballet feet have taken me back so many years. The smell and feel of resin. The tinkle of the piano in the corner. The warm up and hard work.
Thanks for prodding those fine memories into life.
Toby is looking a lot like Cerberus! I’m imagining a third head just out of shot.
glad you liked the feet Danae
I know – I thought about titling the picture ‘Toby, the amazing two headed dog’
I’ll be watching feet like those soon! My daughters will be starting in ballet after ball season. Well, one of them wants to start ballet, the other wants to do jazz…
sounds fun – both lovely forms of dance
