"This deliciously entertaining and humorous chapter book gets top marks for presenting us with a delightfully quirky day in the life of an eight-year-old boy with Asperger's Syndrome.

Being eight, Connor knew a lot. He knew that Mrs. Winters did not like to be interrupted, but he was sure she

would appreciate his fact-finding methods-and who wouldn' t want to know more about geckos? He knew he

needed the new library book, ""More All About Dogs,"" more than Jane needed to keep sitting on that stool-and

he only nudged her off so he could reach it. On a day when everything seemed to go wrong, Connor turned

out to be the only one who could save the school from a dog-caused Code Yellow!

Told from the point of view

of a child with Asperger Syndrome, author Jodi Carmichael highlights some of the challenges-and triumphs-of experiencing a day at school from a different perspective.

Heartwarming, funny, and charmingly

illustrated, Spaghetti is NOT a Finger Food is the winner of four awards- The Mom' s Choice Gold Award; The

Moonbeam Best First Book Award; The Professionals Network Recognition of Merit; and The IBPA Benjamin Franklin Silver Digital Award."

Jodi Carmichael was born and raised in Manitoba, Canada. She loves reading, writing, summers at the lake, and knows almost everything about chocolate! Her dreams of becoming an author began to come true when she attended her first SCBWI conference in Los Angeles in 2007. She was thrilled when her submission was nominated for the Sue Alexander Most Promising New Work Award. Jodi is a strong advocate for Asperger's Syndrome which led to Connor and his adventures in Spaghetti is NOT a Finger Food and Other Life Lessons. It is her belief that understanding brings tolerance, acceptance, and compassion for others. Jodi lives in a big yellow house in the heart of Winnipeg. There she can often be found dancing in the living room with her two wildly imaginative daughters, her patient and supportive husband, and a scruffy Border Terrier named Zoe. She continues to write, give presentations, and talk about writing to whoever will listen.

Mom-ology: To have Ms. Carmichael and Ms. Ackerley share these issues in the way that they have, not only makes it enjoyable but easy to understand.
