"Sam and Asha. Asha and Sam. Their friendship is so long established, they take it for granted. Just as Asha takes for granted that Donnybrooke, the mansion that sits on the highest hill in Coreville, is the best house in town. But when Sam is accepted into snobbish Castleton Academy as an autistic 'Miracle Boy,' he leaves Asha, who is also autistic, to navigate middle school alone. He also leaves her wondering if she can take anything for granted anymore. Because soon Sam is spending time with Prestyn, Asha's nemesis, whose family owns Donnybrooke and, since a housewarming party gone wrong, has forbidden Asha to set foot inside. Who is Asha without Sam? And who will she be when it becomes clear that Prestyn's interest in her friend isn't so friendly?"--Provided by publisher.… (altro)

Told from the point of view of two children on the autism spectrum AND a large, overdone house that looms over the other houses in the neighborhood--this is a story about friendship, acceptance, and things not always being what they appear. My heart ached for the two children on the spectrum as they forged new friendships as old, familiar bonds faded. I especially loved the voice of the house and felt real emotion as he himself, wanted nothing more than to house a family that was just the right fit for him.

This story's theme of fitting in, tolerance, and growing pains are timeless, and I hope this becomes a staple in the classrooms all over. Truly a gem. ( )

I wanted to like this more than I did. I will acknowledge my understanding that I am not the intended audience which I think is part of why I didn't fall in love with the book.
The unique aspect of having the house as a character was one in particular I was very intrigued by. I appreciate also the straightfowardness of the characters in how their presented with their uniqueness and nuerodivergency. I can see this being a great book for many younger readers who often don't get to see themselves in stories.
I would've rated this a 3 1/2 if Goodreads allowed 1/2 ratings. Because I appreciate the representation of diverse characters I bumped it up to a 4. ( )

This is the kind of friendship story that hurts a little bit, makes you feel good a little bit, and has you feeling grateful for friends who can step in and understand when maybe family or other people don't.

It's also a book that shows how autism isn't the same for everyone and while it can have challenges, it also is part of what makes people who they are.

The book is part thriller too, keeping things interesting and the reader guessing. WHile not for everyone, many readers will find the story progressing through the different POV characters exciting. ( )

I received a free copy of The View from the Very Best House in Town by Meera Trehan in exchange for an honest review.
This early chapter book is a great introduction to differing perspectives. Each chapter is told by one of three middle school students as well as from one of the grandest homes in town. What sets this book apart from other varying perspective stories such as Anthony Browne’s Voices in the Park or Rob Buyea’s Because of Mr. Terupt is that a building - a home - has an opportunity to tell it’s view on the situation.
Each character is unique with their own troubles and strengths. Reluctant or struggling readers would find this book manageable to read since chapters are only two to four pages long. ( )
