OLDER FICTION
LaZebnik, Claire

Things I Should Have Known

(3) YA Chloe wants to find a boyfriend for her older sister, who has autism. Though their mom is "terrified," Chloe arranges for Ivy to go out with special-needs classmate Ethan--whose brother (and chaperone) turns out to be Chloe's nemesis; Ivy's sexual preference (revealed later) adds another twist. LaZebnik's frank treatment of sexuality and autism makes this a welcome addition to the growing body of literature depicting characters with disabilities.
