The State of Grace
The State of Grace | Rachael Lucas
10 posts | 8 read | 11 to read
Sometimes I feel like everyone else was handed a copy of the rules for life and mine got lost. Fifteen-year-old Grace is funny and plain-spoken. Just because she has Asperger's doesn't mean she's great at maths (she's not) or can draw the Eiffel Tower from memory (she can't). Like any teenager, Grace just wants to fit in, so when it turns out that the cutest boy in school likes her, she finds herself falling in with the cool crowd. But with her dad away and her mum distracted there's no one at home to see Grace's younger sister spiralling out of control, and suddenly everything threatens to fall apart - unless Grace can fix things on her own. Whip-smart, hilarious and unapologetically honest, The State of Grace is a heart-warming story of one girl and her totally normal teenage life.

I learned so much about autism. I thought it was well done.

Great YA novel! Narrated by Grace, a 16 year old on the spectrum, it captures her world in an honest but beautiful way. Author Lucas and her child are both on the spectrum as well

ElizaMarie It sounds like such a beautiful book :) 6y

Now this looks like going to be a interesting read. It‘s about a child with Aspergers. Similar to autism like myself and my oldest son have. This will be interesting read anyone else read it ??? It‘s s kids book but I like lot young adult books as they simple enough to read.

Bookworm04 Interesting so far story told as a child going about her daily life. Reminds me of the struggles of my 12 year old lad. All can think of is how can I help him :) 6y

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed The State of Grace. I read it quite quick but I enjoyed every single minute of it. This is the first novel I have read in which the main character is on the autistic spectrum. And it was bloody interesting 😁 characters are lovable and i loved reading about them all.

This was a really quick read, and it held my attention well. It's ownvoices with an autistic main character, Grace, who is 15. It's sort of a coming of age story, following all the changes, politics and drama that come with being that age. It's a really worthwhile read, I gave it 4/5 stars.
⭐⭐⭐⭐
