Daisy, Guide Me Mary Eileen Oakes

When eleven year old Finn, a melancholy loner, tries to befriend his new neighbor, Matthew, he is met with another friendship dead-end, or so he thinks. After discovering that Matthew has Autism, Finn tries again with help from his dog, Daisy. As their unlikely friendship unfolds, Finn finds a new world within himself, leaving behind the timid boy that he was in elementary school, but when Finn's new confidence gets in the way of his common sense, he puts Matthew's life in danger. After Finn witnesses the unpredictability of life with Autism, he makes a selfless, yet painful, decision that will change his life, and many other's along the way, forever.
