Unlocked

by Karen Kingsbury

I am an avid fan of Karen Kingsbury's writing, and this book is just another wonderful example of her life changing fiction! It pulls you in and won't let go. If I was not a homeschooling mom with young children, this book would have been finished in a day, but even with as busy as I am, I still completed it in just 3 days! It was too good to put down and I would stay up until midnight just for the chance to read some more! Even knowing that my daughter would be up at 5am, it was worth my lost sleep to keep on reading!

Holden is a Senior in high school, but has not spoken a word since he was 3 years old. He is locked in his own world of Autism. Most of the kids at school think he is a freak, with his arm flapping repeditive behaviors, and word cards when he wants to say something. But one girl stands up for him. There is just something familiar about him to her. Then she finds out that they were childhood friends before he was diagnosed with autism. What can she do to help him when nothing else has ever worked in therapy and the special education teachers have even lost hope in him?

I have included the trailer for this book from YouTube. It is a touching book that should be included in everyone's library.
