Perfect

By Kiri Jorgensen

Saloma Hammond is not your typical 12 year old.

Sal counts her steps between classes, wears a school uniform that isn't required, and prefers to stay locked inside her tightly controlled OCD world. But when the lure of the perfect snowflake entices her to join the Weather Club, her anti-social shell begins to crack. At the same time, dozens of phones have gone missing, and her classmates are getting suspicious.

If Sal can unlock her pattern-driven mind to identify the workings of the real thief and then set an irresistible trap at the Science Fair, she may just learn how powerful friendship can be.

Perfectly Wonderful

What a delightful read! I really enjoyed this story about a 6th grade girl named Saloma (Sal for short) who has disabilities (OCD, hearing impairment) and is trying to navigate friendships. As a mom of special needs children, I really connected with this book and its characters; I especially loved the relationship that Sal had with her father. He gave her the love and understanding she needed but also knew how to give her an appropriate challenge. The snowflake science and how it related to Sal’s personality and struggles was well thought out and gave me lots to think about even after I finished reading the book. The characters are engaging, there is good suspense in the plot and lots of room for rich discussion. I would highly recommend this book for kids to read or even as a family read aloud. I received a free copy from Chicken Scratch Books, however my review is voluntary and my own opinion.
