I have enjoyed all of Debora Geary's Witch series, but A Different Witch goes to the top of the list for my favorite.  Starting each new book has been like visiting with friends, and making new ones as the story unfolds.  I enjoy Ms. Geary's Witch Central characters, their love and caring towards each other, their ease of getting into a little trouble while having fun and enjoying life.  This book is amazingly better.  The compassion and appreciation towards autism and everything that makes each of us different was not only a lesson to be learned, but demonstrated the author's skill and talent in crafting a story that kept me enthralled throughout. Everyone has felt different and alone at times - and I believe the author was able to show that we can all celebrate our "different-ness" through our strength and love.  I laughed so often, and found myself in tears as well, and several times even felt my heart swell with pride as the newest witch coped with her challenges.  I thought I understood autism and asperger's disease, but I had no clue just how hard it was to get through a normal day.  I applaud Ms. Geary on her sensitivity to this disease, her talent with words in educating all us readers, and her strength in storytelling skills in entertaining us along the way as well.  Hopefully we'll get to meet these characters again soon to see what they are up to next, and see how well they've grown and adapted.  Well done, Debora Geary.  Very very well done.
