This story is told from the point of view of Jason, a sixth grader with autism who struggles to fit with his classmates and family. Life is difficult and isolated for Jason, who prefers to spend his time writing stories that he can share on an online forum. It's through this online forum that he makes a friend, but when he faces the possibility of meeting his new friend in person, he fears that she will treat him just like everyone else does.This was a wonderful book that gives readers an excellent opportunity to read a story told from the perspective of someone with autism. This is a great choice for readers who enjoyed books such as Rules by Cynthia Lord, Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine, and Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper.
