Piece About Books The Man Who Loved Clowns

Such a sweet story. Everyone can learn a little bit more about Down's Syndrome and what it is to have a family member with a disability. Our 8th grader POV has a 35-year-old uncle that lives with her and her parents. She has the righteous act of defending her uncle and what makes him happy against outsiders who do not understand. The tale is still very relevant and moving today.

Read for a good cry.

This is a really sweet middle grade read about a thirteen-year-old girl and her Uncle Punky, who has Down's syndrome. She struggles to make friends when her family moves into town because she wants to protect her uncle from people who might mock him. There's a lot of drama packed into its 200 pages, both life-altering events and fighting between friends. Great character development (if a bit predictable). The story handles an important topic really well (the author drew from her own relationship

This is one of the greatest stories ever written! June Rae Wood came to visit our middle school (about 20 years ago) to talk with us and I will never forget this book. I have it on my self ready for my daughter to read when she is old enough. If the right child reads it, it can change your whole outlook on life.

I read this book for the first time back in 7th grade and I still remember most of this book. Punky is a man with down syndrome. It sends a message of how it is to grow up with someone who has special needs. I grew up with an aunt who was mentally challenged, and it was very relatable. Good read for people of whatever age, in my personal opinion.

This wonderful novel was well written, and the characters are so lovable and imaginative! Life lessons about honesty, friendship, and undying love are expressed in this delightful story. A touching novel such as this one is always on a bookshelf I can reach.
