Bewertet mit 3 Sternen
A great story for young readers to raise the awareness of Down Syndrome, it provides enough humor and ease to make it a comfortable read. While Warren's brother Bennie is the one with Down Syndrome, it is Warren who has a hard time about it - the reaction of other kids, their pitiful looks or teasing behind his back. While Bennie doesn't seem to recognize any of that, Warren is constantly aware of it, and it bothers him to no end. When Bennie starts visiting a class at the same school as Warren, Warren decides to distance himself - he no longer wants to be recognized as the weirdo's brother, but as Warren himself. This leads to a number of complications and at the end, Warren has to ask himself if he made the right decision...
