Unlocked by Karen Kingsbury

Holden Harris is an autistic eighteen-year-old who is bullied at school. Ella Reynolds is the head cheerleader who befriends Holden but has problems of her own at home.

Very sweet story about an autistic boy who finds his "voice" again through music.  I liked the way it taught many lessons about bullying, acceptance, and standing up for others.  It touches on the controversial concept of vaccinations causing autism, not sure I agree with that and I don't think it needed to be addressed in the book.  I like the way the story started when the kids were young and how they came back into each others lives.
