Description

Twelve-year-old Jason is an autistic boy with a vivid inner world and a big dream: to become a writer. Told in his own voice, he navigates the everyday challenges of school, friendships, and family life while searching for patterns and meaning in a world that often feels confusing or unpredictable. As Jason learns to communicate on his terms, the story explores identity, empathy, and the ways different minds experience the same moments in radically different ways. With Nora Raleigh Baskin’s accessible, emotionally resonant style, this novel offers both a window into autism and a universal coming-of-age journey about finding your voice.
