Bullying should be stopped and harsh measures should be taken towards it as it emotionally and psychologically affects the one being bullied.

I think schools need to look out for their students and try as much as possible to educate them not to bully people and the damages it might cause them mentally.

What a positive stroy. Full of motivation and dedication. Also how it features children with special abilities and their circumstances in public places.
The review is thorough. Detailed and informative. I think I'll consider it in my free time..

Bulling, poverty and other social issues that have plagued our civilization for decades definitely aren't the subjects I would like to read about. To hear about them is enough to watch the news and, therefore, I prefer to skip this book.

Delbert must have gone through a lot of hardship while at school. But what was his unique way of thinking? How did it help him? How did his math teacher and Sylvia, the shy lady who befriended him help his situation? I would love to find out. Congratulations on being the BOTD

I like that the author gave us a likeable protagonist who has to overcome challenges and is gifted. It makes it easier for the reader to connect with the character and back them. This sounds like an enjoyable book to read. Well done on the review.
