Up High in the Trees

Amazingly unique voice reminiscent of The Sound and the Fury. Yet, it’s not written with much gravitas to be on par with monumental works like that novel and such novels as Flowers for Algernon, that deal with mental illness/disability and the narrator.

I really wanted to like this book. While the concept of this book is very original and has a lot of potential, I believe that the author should have done some research on autistic/asperger's kids.

This is a story told from the POV of an eight year old boy whose world has suddenly tilted him into a darker version of what it used to be. His mother died.
