Great book! I’ll need to read it again once I have kids. It’s not very applicable to the ABA clinic I work at.

This would’ve been three stars if the story had wrapped up in this book. I only stuck around to get a satisfying ending, and I’m definitely not reading a second. It’s written like Percy Jackson, which unfortunately I did not like.

Dear God. Some of the worst pacing I have ever seen in a book. This could have been cut to a third of its length. This was a challenge to get through.

This is for parents. I was reading this for ABA and potentially having future kids. It does not seem to have a strong scientific basis, and I am doubtful of its validity. It’s more like a workbook.
