"When I write, I can be heard. And known. . . . But nobody has to see me at all." Jason Blake is a sixth grader with an autistic spectrum disorder. This is his first year in school without a one-on-one aide to help him, and each attempt to fit in with his "neurotypical" classmates seems to go worse than the last. Jason finds an outlet for his frustration in the Storyboard Web site where he posts his fiction. There he finds an online friend who reviews his writing. But would she still like Jason if they met face to face? Winner of the 2010 SChneider Family Book Award. A 2010 ALA Notable Children's Book.
