It picks up near the end, but barely enough. I literally could only read 20 pages at a time, before falling asleep. I honestly don't know where to start with this book. Listen, some of these types of books are just not that interesting, but they will still be used in NO TWO PEOPLE ARE NOT ON FIRE curriculums. My least favorite of my recent reads along the theme, the book jacket gives away one of the book's only "reveals" (that Livvie burned down her family's house.) Okay, I guess, but Sharon Draper's Out of My Mind is a much better choice for a reader looking for a different POV. Now they are poor and live in a trailer in a dying town, evicted from place after place because of Livvie's destructive tendencies. Her fixation is houses, especially the "Sun House," which her family used to live in. Is anyone else tired of reading books where the narrator has autism/downs syndrome/cerebral palsy and is therefore SO WISE? Is it politically incorrect to write a negative review book that exists to teach SENSITIVITY and PERSPECTIVE?ฤก4 year old Livvie Owen has one older sister (who is nice), one younger sister (who is mean) and autism.
