Anything But Typical Baskin, Nora Raleigh and Parks, Tom

Description: Anything But Typical Baskin, Nora Raleigh and Parks, Tom Product Description Jason Blake is an autistic 12-year-old living in a neurotypical world. Most days its 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. But as desperate as Jason is to meet her, hes terrified that if they do meet, Rebecca will only see his autism and not who Jason really is. This is an enormously difficult subject, but Baskin, without dramatics or sentimentality, makes it universal. - Booklist, starred review From School Library Journal Grade 47As if adolescence isn't difficult enough by itself, 12-year-old Jason Blake is not a "neurotypical" (NT), he's autistic and interprets the world differently from other children. As a result, kids at school make fun of him and no one seems to understand him, including his family. Writing stories is one of Jason's few escapes, the one place where he can really be himself. After Jason begins a tentative relationship with Rebecca (PhoenixBird) on Storyboard, an online writing forum, he struggles with the fear of meeting her in person. Simultaneously, he narrates his past, giving listeners a glimpse of what life is like growing up as an autistic child. Tom Parks gives a near perfect performance of this eye-opening novel (S & S, 2009) by Nora Raleigh Baskin told from Jason's viewpoint. Always using just the right tone, he liberates the story's apprehension and wit. Poignant and real, the novel's honesty will bring tears to listeners' eyes. Recommended to fans of the Joey Pigza series.
