I got lucky when I grabbed Border Songs off the shelf of the library. Jim Lynch wrote a book combining many of my interests: birds, northwest Washington (where Offspring #1 lives), autism, family dynamics, dairy farms, and ecology. This is a very entertaining book. The main character, Brandon, counts birds in his head. Every morning he wakes up at zero and counts the birds he hears or sees. And he hears and sees things differently than other people. He is as observant as he is socially awkward. His ability to notice subtle differences makes him a top notch border patrol officer. Brandon is charming. The whole book is charming.
