Grass is the newest literary title by Mark McQuown, chronicling the ordinary life of an autistic twelve-year-old boy named Cachi, living with his wonderful parents. One of Cachi's delights is to spend most of his days staring at the grass in his front yard grow. As we read the book, the readers get to explore the lives of Cachi and his parents, who are just as affected by their child's condition. A new perspective on how the autism spectrum works and the inevitable effects of it on the individual as well as the others around. McQuown's simplistic writing style keeps things lighthearted and enjoyable to read, even while talking about a topic as complicated as the human brain.
