Brother is not an asparagus
How do you make friends when your brother is “that weird kid”?
Linda wants what every thirteen-year-old girl wants – to fit in and make friends. But how can she do that when her brother has an autism spectrum disorder and draws all the attention to himself, both at home and at school? A story about a complex sibling bond that shows even difficult relationships can be full of love.
