Jason Blake is an autistic 12-year-old living in a neurotypical world. Most days it's just a matter of time before something goes wrong. But Jason finds a glimmer of understanding when he comes across PhoenixBird, who posts stories to the same online site as he does.
Jason can be himself when he writes and he thinks that PhoneixBird-her name is Rebecca-could be his first real friend. But as desperate as Jason is to met her, he's terrified that if they do meet, Rebecca wil only see his autism and not who Jason really is.
By acclaimed writer Nora Raleigh Baskin, this is the breathtaking depiction of an autistic boy's struggles-and a story for anyone who has ever worried about fitting in.

Recenzii

*"Baskin's delineation of an autistic boy's world is brilliant."--"Kirkus", starred review
* "Luminous....This is an enormously difficult subject, but Baskin, without dramatics or sentimentality, makes it universal."--"Booklist", starred review
"Baskin reveals not only the obstacles that Jason faces, but also his fierce determination to be himself at all costs. Jason is a believable and empathetic character in spite of his idiosyncrasies. Baskin also does a superb job of developing his parents and younger brother as real people with real problems, bravely traversing their lives with a differently abled child without a road map, but with a great deal of love."--"School Library Journal"
"Should readily captivate readers and open eyes." -"Publishers Weekly"
"A children's book that's every bit as subtle and smart as the best adult novel."--"nytimes.com"
