Interesting new book in series focuses on special needs education

Damaged: A Novel (A Rosato & DiNunzio Novel)

By: Lisa Scottoline

Rating: 4 of 5

This is the second book in this series I have read (though I have read other books by Lisa Scottoline as well.) I am getting the drift that in each of these book, Ms. Scottoline focuses on one of the two partners in this law firm and picks a social issue to focus on as well. In this story, we follow Mary DiNunzio as she takes on the needs of a special education child who is not getting the attention he requires and the education assistance he should receive.

Patrick O’Brien is a ten year old with diagnosed dyslexia. He is picked on and made fun of at school not only by other children but, shockingly, by the adults who should be helping him. His grandfather, Edward, is compelled at last to find an attorney to help Patrick and, with that one move towards assistance, sets into motion the events of this legal procedural, action book.
