OLDER FICTION

The State of Grace

(2) YA In an endearingly sarcastic voice, a British teen with Asperger's syndrome tells of her tenth-grade year. Grace faces disruptive changes at home (her parents may be splitting up) and at school, where peer relationships become more nuanced and complex. A sweet sort-of romance with classmate Gabe inspires Grace to take more social risks. This gentle, sensitive slice-of-life story seamlessly weaves Grace's unique neurological worldview with the universal angst of coming-of-age.
