"You can't see it." Dad cleared his throat. He was standing in front of Ali's class, about to give a talk. "It isn't like measles or mumps. It's not like when you break your leg. And it's definitely not catching, like when you get a cold."
Ali listened, her fingers crossed. If her father couldn't make them understand, nobody could.
And then nobody would know what it felt like to have a brother like Max, who is always dancing out of Ali's reach.
Thoughtful and direct...
— The Age
Ali usually puts a good face on her anger and dismay, but occasionally trouble ensues. Ali is not nearly as tough and cool as she appears in public... This is a sensitive and hopeful book, shedding a lot of light on a mysterious subject... Recommended.
