Kiara has Asperger’s syndrome, and it’s hard for her to make friends. So whenever her world doesn’t make sense—which is often—she relies on Mr. Internet for answers. But there are some questions he can’t answer, like why she always gets into trouble, and how do kids with Asperger’s syndrome make friends? Kiara has a difficult time with other kids. They taunt her and she fights back. Now she’s been kicked out of school. She wishes she could be like her hero Rogue—a misunderstood X-Men mutant who used to hurt anyone she touched until she learned how to control her special power.
When Chad moves in across the street, Kiara hopes that, for once, she’ll be able to make friendship stick. When she learns his secret, she’s so determined to keep Chad as a friend that she agrees not to tell. But being a true friend is more complicated than Mr. Internet could ever explain, and it might be just the thing that leads Kiara to find her own special power.
In Rogue, author Lyn Miller-Lachmann celebrates everyone’s ability to discover and use whatever it is that makes them different.

Gr 7-9-Kiara's mother is living in Montreal launching her career as a musician so her father sets his musical aspirations aside to be his daughter's caregiver. The eighth-grader's Asperger's syndrome does little to help her adjust to or understand her unsettled family situation. Mr. Internet is her go-to for black-and-white answers to the complexities of life. On the Net, Kiara also delves into a fantasy world of superhero personas and takes on the alter ego of Rogue. While she is academically successful, she is socially shunned. When she joins the popular girls' table-uninvited-she is ridiculed and publicly rejected. It does little for her case when she hauls off and slams her lunch tray into another girl's face. Now Kiara is friendless and expelled from school. She befriends her new neighbor, Chad, whose home is a meth den where he is forced to collect ingredients for his parents' lethal concoctions. Kiara spends lots of time trying to be Chad's friend and steer him in a better direction; he spends lots of time trying to survive the horror of his home life and being nasty to Kiara. Chad's and Kiara's fathers play music together in the backyard, so it's hard to believe that Kiara's dad doesn't notice how weird things are. The dangerous neighborhood happenings seem to completely escape him until there is a major explosion in the meth lab. Too much happens in this novel and too little of it revolves around Kiara.-Alison Follos, formerly at North Country School, Lake Placid, NYα(c) Copyright 2013.

From Booklist
This raw and edgy tale will leave readers almost as scarred as the boy who shares center stage with its narrator, a girl with Asperger’s. Kiara’s tendency to viciously lash out when she is angry or frustrated has finally gotten her kicked out of eighth grade. She finds companionship, of a sort, in a sweet, scruffy, young new neighbor and his fiercely protective big brother, Chad, who is as prickly and secretive as they come. As it turns out, Chad has plenty to hide. There is a drunken suicide attempt, and Chad has both bleeding internal burns from the meth lab his parents are running and external wounds from years of abuse. Meanwhile, Kiara’s talent with a video camera gives her a measure of pride to place against a self-image hammered by twin convictions that she has been abandoned by her mother, and is a genetic mistake caused by her dad’s chemo. Kiara’s graphic, matter-of-fact descriptions after a climactic explosion in the lab add further stomach-churning intensity to her narrative. Though the author leaves Kiara and Chad in better places than they were, both are still wounded and facing steep personal challenges. A harrowing read. Grades 7-10. --John Peters
Review
“The depth of Kiara’s loneliness, her capacity for empathy (though she’s unsure of when and how to express it), and her persistence in her quest for true friendship make the book a substantive addition to the emerging body of youth literature about Asperger’s.” — The Horn Book
“The author does a nice job of relaying the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of a teenager with Asperger’s. The characters are realistic, while the text flows easily and leads the reader on a roller coaster ride.” — Library Media Connection

Nice contemporary read
By Leigh27
First of all, I love how the cover has something to do with the story. Rogue, mutant, and BMX plays a big part in Rogue, and I think it's smart and convenient how the definition is placed on the cover. This book is told from Kiara's point of view, a 13 year old who has the Asperger's syndrome because the medication that her father was taking when he had cancer affected her development. She constantly tells the readers of how she wishes she was like Rogue (a character from X-Men) and she even compares her friends and teacher to the characters in X-Men.
Kiara's family revolves around music. Her mother, who was born in El Salvador, travels to different places to play music. Her father plays the banjo, and he used to have a band. Kiara also has 2 brothers who are in college so she's just left with her father at home. She constantly tells her mother to come home, but her mother tells her she can't because of her job. Kiara feels like the real reason why her mother wouldn't come home is because she has the syndrome and that she is an "accident". Since she has the Asperger's syndrome, which is an autism that affects one's behavior and communication, she has a hard time making friends and feels like she has to "work hard" just to gain friends. She got picked on at school by the popular girls, and during the book, she is home schooled. Throughout the novel, we get to see how the people that Kiara meets makes a big impact in her life and decisions.
Chad is Kiara's neighbor who recently moved in. He's a year younger than her, and Kiara is eager to be his friend. She follows whatever he tells her to do even though he treats her horribly, calling her names (i.e. retarded) like all the popular girls at school used to do. Chad's character was just frustrating and maddening. He is very rude to Kiara even though she was kind to him ALL THE TIME. Chad is one of those characters who you would just want to punch in the face. He plays BMX which is a bicycle racing in dirt tracks.
What I love about this book is that we get to see how the characters change from start to finish. Kiara's the one who made the biggest change which made me very proud of her. She started out having a very low self esteem and ended up being somewhat confident after all the trouble she has gone with the new "friends" she'd made.
I like how there wasn't really any romance in this book. There's a lot of adventure and twist that will make your jaw drop. It ended with a bam, and the whole book was just unpredictable. I recommend this to everyone, especially to those who are looking for a fresh contemporary read.

Rogue
By Margaret
This book is a beautiful look inside the world of a child with Aspberger's. Lyn Miller-Lachmann doesn't stop the action to explain, but puts us in Kiara's body and mind so that we can actually experience the barriers between life and this child. Kiara shows us that having Aspberger's doesn't mean you have a low intelligence quotient, but it does create barriers between the child and their emotions--and, therefore, other people. Kiara finds a way to communicate through film and music that flows like a ballet. When it's all over, her world isn't magically perfect, but she has found a way to bridge the gap because she never gives up trying. Well worth the read!

A touching and honest look inside the mind of someone with Asperger’s.
By SunshineRose
Lyn Miller-Lachmann, author of “Gringolandia” enters the world of middle schoolers with “Rogue.” In “Rogue,” readers learn to empathize with Kiara, an 8th grader who tries hard to have friends. No one ever wants to be her friend because they think she’s weird. She keeps track of all new kids hoping one will be her friend, but it never happens. Treated unkindly at school, nicknamed “Crybaby Kiara,” and with a short temper, she is banned from all social gatherings by her peers. After a fight at school, she is forced to become home schooled.
At home, Kiara learns a lot from Mr. Internet, who helps her figure out she has Asperger’s Syndrome. She has all the symptoms, but her too-busy father and absent mother refuse to believe she has any problems. To cope with her changing and confusing world, Kiara creates a parallel version of her life using the X-Men, her favorite superheroes. She gives herself the name “Rogue,” believing the comic book heroine’s life is her own.
When Chad and his little brother move in next door, Kiara is sure her luck has changed. Chad loves to ride his BMX bike on the trails, and she is sure if she shows him around he’ll be her friend. However, despite her best intentions, Chad rebuffs her at every turn while seeming to have some mysterious problems at home. Determined to be his friend, help him, and discover her X-Man Super Power Kiara keeps trying. In time, she realizes their lives are tied together more than she thought, and her hidden power may be the only thing keeping his (and her) head above water.
“Rogue” is a touching and honest look inside the mind of someone with Asperger’s, giving readers insight into their thought patterns and hidden feelings. As an Educator, I gained tips on how to help students who have Asperger’s and how to help others understand them a little better. It is a must read for educators and their students aged 9-14. It would also work well in middle and elementary school book clubs, as having discussions while reading it will help students get “on the same page” with each other and lead to less bullying.
