Reviews
Benny's first-person narrative radiates with exactly the kind of compassion his mother recommends: to ease your own pain, try to help others. Like many nine-year-olds, Benny can be guileless in one moment and wise beyond his years in another, and his fascination with LEGO Minifigures will likely delight many young readers, who might share his hobby. In addition, Benny's goodhearted family embraces a well-rounded life, supporting each other even when it's tough. Highly recommended for fans of realistic fiction by writers such as Ann M. Martin or Lisa Graff., In her first middle-grade novel, McGovern brings readers fully into Benny's troubled thoughts, making a clear distinction between the things that he can't control (his father's health, his brother's autism) and the things that he can. McGovern's thoughtful depiction of a family facing difficult situations without fracturing, coupled with a gentle message about not being too hard on oneself, will surely speak to middle schoolers with their own slate of worries., McGovern writes convincingly about characters trying to figure out how best to live with the complications of a disability, both the person whom it most affects and also those around him or her. She manages to keep Benny's voice authentic and still draw a rich cast of minor characters. As she does for older teens in Say What You Will and A Step Toward Falling, she offers younger readers a compelling story filled with people they will care about. Benny's voice deserves to be read aloud in a classroom., Praise for Chester and Gus: "In this delightful novel, Cammie McGovern has somehow managed to channel, with absolute perfection, the endearing voice of an aspiring service dog named Chester. Joyful, inspiring, and completely winning, Chester and Gus is unforgettable.", Beautifully imagined and deeply affecting, Cammie McGovern's sensitive portrait of one resilient family and their very special dog demonstrates that the best lives are lived when differences are cherished., McGovern's observations about ordinary-seeming life and about the people around us, about small acts of kindness and healing and forgiveness, are perceptive and thought-provoking., Praise for Just My Luck: "I loved this portrait of a young boy struggling to find his role in a family determined not to be defined by their differences. Benny's brave story, told with wry humor, is inspirational.", I loved this! It's a cross between The One and Only Ivan and Out of My Mind. Kids will love it because it's a dog story and a school story. Teachers and parents will love it because it's an intimate look at a family with a non-verbal autistic son. It rang so true for me., Charming and funny, thoughtful and tender--a heartwarming story about the power of personal connection and a much needed reminder that sometimes we find those connections in the most unlikely places., In her debut novel for middle grade readers, McGovern presents a heart-filled story of a likable boy who doesn't realize that his natural gifts are recognizable and valued by a supportive family and his teacher Mr. Norris. There are many moments that will ring true to middle grade readers: feeling anxious about friendships, wanting to be noticed, and trying to do the right thing. Recommend this sensitive novel to fans of Lisa Graff's Absolutely Almost and Rob Buyea's Because of Mr. Terupt., An ingenious perspective on the world of neurodiversity--funny and heartfelt. Frankie's wisdom and growth are models for the rest of us., In narrator Benny, readers find a resilient and very observant 9-year-old who accepts those around him with their strengths and shortcomings alike. His story is insightful and inspirational.

Franklin understands her, though, and sees how much they have in common. When Amelia gets into some trouble at school, Franklin wants to help the girl who's done so much to help him . He's not sure how, yet, but he's determined to try. This sweet and moving novel demonstrates how powerful the bond between pets and people can be, while thoughtfully depicting a neurodivergent tween's experience., A heartfelt companion novel to the critically acclaimed Chester and Gus about inclusivity, autism, friendship, and family, perfect for fans of Sara Pennypacker and Kate DiCamillo.
