Book review: The Spark, A mother’s story of Nurturing Genius

This is a book that I accidentally read.  How does one ‘accidentally’ read a book?  You scan over the title, read the synopsis, pick out words that you’re interested in and ignore the rest.  In my case I read “mom-nurturing-genius”.  Well I want my child to be as smart as he can possible be, this is a book I must read.  In reality, and thankfully, The Spark is not the book I thought it was; it’s much better, uplifting, inspirational and all but mandatory for parents of autistic children.

The Great Lollipop Caper by Dan Krall is the title of the book and an allegory. Allegory sounds like a serious Shakespearean word that can’t possible denote anything fun or light.  Ah, but The Great Lollipop Caper is allegory at its finest, aimed at children, but with adults possibly getting the most enjoyment out of the book.
