Unlocked by Karen Kingsbury

Unlocked by Karen Kingsbury 

Published by Zondervan

I've been a fan of Karen's books for several years now, but this one was especially meaningful to me due to the fact that the main character is a teenage boy with Autism, and I have a 13 year old son with an autism spectrum disorder.

Unlocked is based on the true story of a friend of Karen's who showed amazing progress because of music.   

Holden Harris is an 18 year old boy with Autism that renders him non-communicative. He lives locked in his own world - one that no one understands. He's considered an odd kid at school.

But Ella meets Holden and feels an immediate connection. She is determined to be his friend no matter if Holden stays locked in his own world or not.

Can Ella, with the help of God, find the key to Unlock Holden's world?

If you're looking for a great book, "Unlocked" by Karen Kingsbury is for you!!!! Happy reading!
