Why read it?
1 author picked Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Oh, where to start with this one! I adored this story about a baseball-loving autistic girl.
The voice is so real, and the characterization dismantles so many stereotypes, at the same time as celebrating sport and kids in pursuit of their dreams. I loved how the author allowed us to understand a parent’s concern and worry about their autistic child, but this was balanced perfectly with Vivy’s courage, passion, and determination as she drives the story forward.
It’s smart and fun, endearing and utterly charming.
From Kate's list on middle grade about neurodivergent kids.
