About this work
Description
"Jason Blake is an autistic twelve-year old living in 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 PhoenixBird - her name is Rebecca - could be his first real friend. As desperate as Jason is to meet her, he's terrified that if they do meet, Rebecca will only see his austim and not who Jason really is. By acclaimed writer Nora Raleigh Baskin, this is the breathtaking depiction of an autisitic boy's struggles - and a story for anyone who has ever worried about fitting in."--From publisher.
