I am currently reading Hunger by Michael Grant. And in this quotation they Sam and Astrid are talking about stuff and he brings up her little brother who is 4 years old and severely autistic.
“So. Anyway. How’s LP doing?” Astrid looked at her brother, who was perched on a kitchen counter stool and gazing mutely at Sam. Or, anyway, in Sam’s direction – she could never be sure what he was really looking at. She wanted to tell sam what had been happening with Little Pete, what he had started doing. But Sam had enough to worry about. And for a moment – a rare moment – he wasn’t worrying. There would be time later to tell him that the most powerful person in the FAYZ seemed to be… What would the right term be for what Little Pete was doing? Losing his mind? No, that wasn’t quite it.
I found this quote interesting because it is in my opinion quite funny, like, is he losing his mind? No not exactly. Oh well ok thats fine then. I just find it funny. But it is also an incredibly important moment in the book because despite the fact that he is 4, he is literally the most powerful person on the FAYZ which he, himself created.
