And because this resource has been created for teachers and home educators, by our experienced team of teachers and designers, you can rest assured that the content is relevant to Year 5 English. Acampora’s characters are realistic, flawed, and enthralling. The reader is a voyeur into the secret lives of neighbors. Not only is the reader treated to private lives, but also to the internal thoughts and feelings of the characters.

Driving through a neighborhood, looking at the houses you pass by, do you ever stop and wonder about the lives of those who live there? Looking from the outside in, we never know about the problems people face, whether their lives are mundane or full of excitement and tension, what their desires and regrets are, and what drives them forward. Set in the fictional New England town of Old Cranbury, Acampora's narrative on these great collection has been described by critics as the one of an urban anthropologist, fascinated with the customs and rituals of its residents and determined to unearthed the secret lives of its suburbanites. Floortime- It's about a mother struggling to reach her autistic son and who is desperate enough to consider using unconventional methods to achieve this goal.But I don't think Acampora is really after our empathy. She writes, like Margaret Atwood, with delicious, irresistible irony, flirting with the surreal just enough to make us wonder, yet rooting us in a garden we recognize. We nod and snort and generally feel superior to those whose wealth and privilege have always made us slightly ashamed.
