Riassunto

Dealing with autism, sixth-grader Jason finds comfort in communicating with others on the computer through his collection of short stories, but when he meets the girl of his dreams and their friendship becomes more serious, Jason fears what she will think of him when they make their plans to meet face-to-face.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

*“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

“Should readily captivate readers and open eyes.” –Publishers Weekly

"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

“A children’s book that’s every bit as subtle and smart as the best adult novel.”—nytimes.com
