A Corner
of the Universe by Ann Martin
Why you should read this book:
- The
summer Hattie turns 12, her predictable small-town life is turned on end
when her uncle Adam returns home for the first time in over ten years.
Hattie has never met him, never known about him. He's been
institutionalized; his condition involves schizophrenia and autism. Hattie,
a shy girl who prefers the company of adults, takes immediately to her
excitable uncle, even when the rest of the family -- her parents and
grandparents -- have trouble dealing with his intense way of seeing the
world.
