Cynthia Parkhill's Reviews > Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen!

Major-league pitcher VJ Capello has been Vivy Cohen’s hero ever since he showed her his grip for the knuckleball at a social event for people on the autism spectrum and their families. Vivy writes a letter to VJ to satisfy the requirements of her social-skills class and, after Vivy sends him several letters, VJ actually writes back! The author, Sarah Kapit brings her lived experience as an autistic individual to craft Vivy as a believable character. Watch my video review at https://youtu.be/x-UrxoflBPc

Update, September 2022: Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen! satisfies Task #23 of Book Riot's 2022 Read Harder Challenge. (Just to be clear, I read the book first and then, later, assigned it to an applicable category.) Details about the challenge at https://bookriot.com/read-harder-2022/
