    <body><![CDATA[Marcelo is 17 and has a mild form of Asperger's Syndrome.  Even though he could attend a regular school, he's been at a special school since first grade. He's looking forward to a job training the school's therapy ponies over the summer, and then completing his senior year.  His father wants him to attend a regular school, though, to learn about the &quot;real world.&quot;  To compromise, he makes a deal with Marcelo.  If Marcelo will work at his law firm over the summer, then he can choose where he goes to school in the fall. Wow, this book was really enjoyable to read.  I thought it would be dense, but it actually moved along very quickly.  I really liked Marcelo and was kept guessing how he would choose to resolve his various moral dilemmas up until the very end.]]></body>
