I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one. All thoughts & opinions are entirely my own.

A very awesome book cover, & great font/writing style. A very well written 6th grade-up prose children’s informative book. All of them were very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great teen movie, an animated cartoon, a college PP presentation, or better yet a mini TV series or even a documentary (Nami; PBS; Frontline). A very easy rating of 5 stars.

This review is a composite of the comments written by a group of fifth graders whose teacher read the book to them. Most of them had never heard of autism before, so it sparked a lot of discussion. They mostly loved the book, but they all agreed that it was too short; they want to hear the rest of the story. I haven't included their specific reasons for not liking the ending, so as not to spoil it for others, but I think it is an important book. We need more books like this for this age group (and older), to create a better understanding of people who are not "neuro-typical."

"I really liked how the book was written like a poem. "-Max
"I liked how everything Ivory saw or heard was a song." - Kai
"I really liked how it wasn't just I want piano lessons. Okay, here you go, you get piano lessons! Ivory had to actually work for piano lessons and had to endure some hardships along the way." - Naomi
"I liked how she included what the noises sounded like, for example when Ivory listens to the wind chimes she describes the sound." - Caitlin
"I loved the book, I love how it really has a meaning. But I don't think it had a very satisfying ending." - Olive
" I liked that it had the metaphor for her music that is was soaring." - Zack
"I really liked the book, but at the beginning, I wasn't so sure. I didn't really like all the examples of the sounds like 'Dee da dee' and 'Linkletinkrink.' It didn't sound that normal, and there were (in my opinion) too many at the beginning." - Chloe
"Caged bird we have recognized the caged bird in the music teacher's house. I think the cage symbolizes all the restrictions that Ivory had. I think the moral of this book is, you can achieve no matter what. In other words, you can achieve success anywhere even with great restrictions. . . the symbolic cage was 'trapping' Ivory at first. Later she learned how to fly in that cage with her "fly9ing" music even though her mom was saying NO music. I read a sign in the library that says Fail First Attempt in Learning. The piano teacher did say she couldn't fail, but I think if Ivory fails she will recover easily and continue to fly. Ivory has found the way. Ivory is Flying in a Cage." - Alexander
This book takes a very unexpected and original approach, allowing the reader to sink into a girl's world and join her on her personal journey.

Ten-year-old Ivory sees the world differently from those around her; her world consists of rhythm and music. While she goes along with the daily life expected of her, others around her notice that she's unique. When Ivory is introduced to her first piano through chance, new possibilities open up to her—something which perfectly harmonizes with who she is and how she expresses herself. But not everyone understands how trapped she really is or what she really needs.

Upon opening to the first chapter, it's immediately clear that this book takes a different approach to the story than most. The entire thing is written in verse, each line on a few words, sounds and thoughts. The author submerges the reader into Ivory's world and through direct and carefully laid phrases, allows it to come to life in amazing emotion and detail. Through this artistic style of writing, the author keeps the reader in the palm of her hand and leads them exactly down the path Ivory goes.

It's an easy read and short enough to grab even reluctant readers. The sounds and sights have a simple flair, which even readers who usually stumble over vocabulary will understand. Despite Ivory's differences, she still leads a life familiar to readers of that age group and is simple to connect to.

The purpose of this book is clear—the acceptance and understanding of those who differ from the norm. In this case, Ivory is autistic and struggles to express herself, and discover her direction. As a mother of an autistic child and with several more in the surrounding family, I find the portrayal of Ivory's thoughts and her sudden talent...as well as the lateness which her situation is discovered...away from reality, which does bother a bit. But I don't think the purpose of this book is to necessarily produce a close study of autism, but rather allow the reader to get a glimpse at a different way of thinking. Not everyone views the world in the same way. Obviously, a real life Ivory wouldn't constantly have her mind running in verse or such disconnected thoughts, but this poetic approach goes a long way in bringing across emotions in a personal manner, making it easy to grasp and understand.

It's an intriguing read, which delivers a beautiful story in a touching and lovely way.
