Things Hoped For by Andrew Clements

Did not finish book. Stopped at 60%.
This book is just okay, and it’s a bit weird to be quite honest. I don’t really care about the characters and I don’t get excited to read it, so I’m putting it down for now.

Stereotypes of autism put forth by the author too much to digest.
