This book is about a little girl named Natalie and her family. Her brother's name is Moose. He helps her try to get into the school. Natalie has autism. She throws tantrums, plays with buttons and rocks, she counts birds and reads book indexes. They have to move to an island because his dad works there. And he has to ride a boat to school.Piper is a girl lives on the island with her dad,the warden.She is very snotty and always gets into trouble and she blames her friends for something she did.The most memoral part of the book for me is when natily throws tantrums.
