A brilliant debut. Graeme Simsion, New York Times bestselling author of The Rosie Project

Ginny Moon is exceptional. Everyone knows ither friends at school, teammates on the basketball team, and especially her new adoptive parents. They all love her, even if they don't quite understand her. They want her to feel like she belongs.
What they don't know is that Ginny has no intention of belonging. She's found her birth-mother on Facebook, and is determined to get back to hereven if it means going back to a place that was extremely dangerous. Because Ginny left something behind and she's desperate to get it back, to make things right.
Benjamin Ludwig's whip-smart, unforgettable novel is an illuminating look at one girl's journey to find her way home and one of the freshest debuts in years.
Critic Reviews:
"Ginny Moon is a brilliant debut.... I was unable to put the book down.... This novel has all the elements for critical and popular success!" (Graeme Simsion, New York Times best-selling author of The Rosie Project)
Members Reviews:
Wonderful
As a social worker who works with children at risk I found this to be a very truthful account. It deals with things not only from the parent perspective but from the child perspective, who in this case is a child who has autism. Very informative read with a great storyline!
Great story, easy listening
This book was great, I enjoyed listening from the perspective of an autistic mind. There was a little mystery about "her baby" and I liked the twists and turns. Kept me interested and an easy read.
Frustrated Me as a Reader
I waffled between rating this book 3 and 4 stars. Years ago, I read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and had a similar 3-star reading experience. Both books are critically acclaimed, loved by readers, and told from the perspective of an autistic child. Bottom line: I did not love either of these books but I am happy I read them. I appreciate Ginny Moon as a work of art based on the experiences of the author, and trust its accuracy in capturing the thought and speech patterns of a 14-year old autistic girl. I understand that my frustrations with this narrator are mostly unfounded - but I was still a frustrated reader most of the time. Readers up for the challenge should proceed with caution - but this could be a very satisfying journey for some.
Wow, just wow!
I have never read a better book about a person with autism. The voice of Ginny, the fourteen-year-old, is perfectly portrayed by both author and narrator. They capture the disconnect between the world in Ginny's mind and the outer world where she doesn't feel that she belongs.
