Petey has got to be one of my favorite books of all time! I've never cried so hard in my life even though Petey is a fictional character. As you turn the pages of this very moving book, Petey becomes real and makes you believe that he's a real person who you've known since his birth. I highly recomend this book for anyone who wants to read something real; anyone who needs some sort of comforting notion that we're never alone forever.
You won't be displeased.
Enjoy!

Petey is full of love, joy, and tears. You'll laugh and cry. The story is packed with insight to the world of the handicapped and misdiagnosis. It will change the way you treat and look at the handicapped. A delight to the very last page.

This is a superb book written about a real person. I had wished that I knew all of the story beforehand. I had always walked past "Petey" on my way to class. This book is written for children, yet is a must read for everyone. It's a real eyeopener!

I read many books in the course of a year, but this was definitely among the best this year. The author did a fine job putting himself into the mind of Petey, sharing with readers what it's like to be locked away inside oneself as the result of an often misunderstood mental illness. Readers can't help but like Petey and want desperately for at least one character in the book to remain by his side. This book is a well-written eye-opener concerning human nature and the unvarnished reactions many of us have to those who are different from the mainstream population. This is a YA novel full of heart and lessons to carry forward. A must read.
