i work in a library i found the book when i was put away books it was on the wrong place. anyway i looked at it and thought it sonded intresting. i my self have learning diabilties. at frist i liked this book somes of the terms used are outdated but i thats bescause the book was written in the 70s. but what really killed the book for me was the reaction of the too kids in the normal class at the end. i want the book to end hapy for john and deedee. however if you can find the book read it because you might like it.
