Caitlin and her father try to find closure after her brother, Devon, is killed in a school shooting. This is especially difficult for ten-year-old Caitlin because she has Asperger's Syndrome. While the general storyline is heartwrenching, Caitlin's voice is often humurous as she negotiates recess and the power of friendship.
