What to Say Next by Julie Buxbaum

Kit and David are unlikely friends. Ever since the death of Kit's father she has been isolating herself from her friends--they just don't fit with her new reality. David has experience with being alone. He is on the autism spectrum and doesn't interact with people like other students do. However, David has long admired Kit from afar, and when she starts sitting with him at lunch, he is on top of the world. This is Kit and David's story--both have things to overcome and things they can help each other with. It's a delightful and surprising book, and one I recommend for 7th-up students who like realistic fiction as well as friendship and romance.
