The Rosie Result by Graeme Simsion FIC SIM


         This is the third novel in the 'Rosie Series'.  (You need to start with The Rosie Project and then The Rosie Effect).  Where has the time gone?? This book begins with Don and Rosie already ten years into parenthood.  Yes, Hudson is 10 years old already.  He is a chip off the old block.  That means he is having his share of issues.  That is always hard for parents to watch.
      As always, Don has thought it over and come up with a solution.  It would be called The Hudson Project.  It will take friends and family to help improve Hudson's school life.  That will include fighting with the school.  The school wants to have Hudson tested for autism.  If he shows up on the spectrum  the school can hire a one-on-one aide for him.  And it would also give the school a reason to excuse some of Hudson's actions at school.  (My favorite is when he can't resist correcting the teacher's grammar!).  I found Hudson to be a very likable kid.
     This series of books is full of wonderful characters.  They may make you laugh one minute and bring tears to your eyes the next.  Through these characters we can learn, or be reminded of, how difficult it can be to fit into society.
