Review Blue Bottle Mystery is not just a solid exercise in taking an already successful work and re-imagining it for a new readership but also an object lesson in how to adapt material in a way that makes full use of the exclusive storytelling potential of the comics form. We need to see far more graphic medicine aimed at a younger readership like this that never patronises its target audience but informs and elucidates through the remarkable communicative power of sequential art. Broken Frontier This is a book that offers an explanation of aspects of Asperger's Syndrome in a fun way making it accessible to a wide range of readers, especially those (on the spectrum or not) who have a particular passion for visuals... All in all this is a perceptive, optimistic story that artfully weaves information relating to the condition throughout. It should find a place on the classroom shelves of all primary schools and in lower secondary libraries: those who read it will one hopes come away with a greater understanding of what it is to be 'an aspie'. Let's hear it for individuality and difference, and the way such characteristics can enrich the lives of us all. Red Reading Hub It's short and sweet, pretty fun on its own merits, but even better because it teaches about a group of kids on the autism spectrum who are often misunderstood. Rating: Pretty Darn Good. Newbery and Beyond If you're looking for a short, yet intriguing read - either for yourself or for kids and younger siblings - I would definitely recommend this. Books Biscuits and Tea I found this graphic novel both an absorbing story and an excellent way to try to better understand people with Asperger syndrome... I like the information boxes that are interspersed with the dialogues to help the reader understand situations from the point of view of someone with Asperger syndrome. Juno Magazine

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Informative, Entertaining, and Inspirational By Pop Bop This is a new graphic novel treatment of the author's original novel of the same name, which was published to rave reviews in 2001. It is a very successful translation/reinterpretation into graphic form and should expand the book's appeal and accessibility. We are fourteen years later, and it is probably fair to suggest that Asperger's is now much more widely recognized and understood than it was in 2001. That said, there is always room for better understanding and for appreciation of the special challenges faced by those on the Asperger spectrum.So how is this as a reading experience? Well, first off it isn't really a mystery, as such. POSSIBLE VERY MILD SPOILERS. Our hero Ben and his friend Andy find a blue bottle that might or might not contain a magic genie. They make wishes that might or might not be being granted by said genie. They were very careless about wishing when they first opened the bottle so the running mystery is about them trying to remember what they wished for. Consequently, what you really have is a mild sort of fantasy that really works mostly to provide a framework for the story and to provide for surprising things to happen that require Ben to react and cope. That's fine by me because the focus here is Ben and his everyday life, not some complicated plot.We see Ben at school, interacting with other kids, relating to his Dad and Grandmom, dealing with a cranky teacher, and so on. Friend Andy is supportive up to a point. Dad is a little exasperated and clueless at the outset. Grandmom is more supportive, but unaware of Asperger Syndrome. Nowadays I would expect teachers to be alert to Asperger's, so the teacher's cluelessness seems odd, but the teacher does serve as a standin for all of the adult authority figures a kid would encounter even now and so remains a valid character.The deeper success here is that Ben learns about Asperger Syndrome, his Dad and Grandmom learn in a bit more detail about Asperger's, friend Andy learns a bit about Asperger's, and so we have a lot of teaching going on for different folks at different levels. I suspect that's why the novel was so well received at so many levels when it first came out. There's something for everyone regardless of where they fit in an Asperger's kid's life.The overall tone of the book is calm, supportive, and positive. It doesn't shy away from the pain, anger and confusion that Ben can feel in some situations, and it doesn't end all happy-peppy. It is earnest, but not heavy. It doesn't read like a lecture or a polemic, but aims rather to be informative and entertaining, and perhaps inspirational. This is tricky stuff and, happily, the author pulls it off pretty well. Certainly, I was happy to have had a chance to read this admirable effort.(Please note that I received a free advance will-self-destruct-in-x-days Adobe Digital copy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I thought this book would be a great addition to our library By Amazon Customer As a librarian for a school for children with Aspergers and Autism, I thought this book would be a great addition to our library. It is with one small problem...the teacher in the book says the word, "hell" and then a student repeats it. We have a zero tolerance policy on vulgarity and unfortunately, my students have keyed in on that one small word. I have removed the book from my shelf and am trying to figure out if I should just sharpie over it or try and white it out and write "heck" or "hey" in there instead. It wasn't necessary for the context of the story and I would hope the author would realize that many ASD children have a strict need to adhere to rules and obsess about little things.
