Are You Seeing Me? | Darren Groth

Twins Justine and Perry have left their home in Australia and embarked on the road trip of a lifetime in the Pacific Northwest. It's been a year since their dad lost his battle with cancer and Justine became the sole caregiver for her autistic brother, Perry. Now Perry has been accepted into an assisted-living residence in their hometown, Brisbane, Australia, but before he takes up residence, they're seeking to create the perfect memory. For Perry, the trip is a glorious celebration of some of his favorite things: Ogopogo, Jackie Chan movies and earthquakes. For Justine, it's an opportunity to learn how to let go—of Perry, of her boyfriend, Marc—and to offer their mother the chance to atone for past wrongs. But the instability that has shaped their lives will not subside, and the seismic event that Perry forewarned threatens to reduce their worlds to rubble...

The story is about two twins Justin and Perry. Perry has a brain condition that can cause him to feel anxious in different places and circumstances. When Justin's and Perry's father passes away, Justin becomes Perry's caretaker. Justin and Perry go to Canada for a road trip of a lifetime. They go on this trip so that Perry can search for the Ogopogo which is Perry's favorite animal/myth and to offer their mother a chance to atone for past wrongs.

yvette006tanui If you like funny books, profoundly moving, and beautiful I would recommend this book. A theme in this story is loss because when their mother left when they were children they felt loss and when their father passed away they also felt loss. 3y
