Buddy read realistic 'Anything but typical' by Nora Raleigh Baskin starting Wednesday 16/04/14

[Rebecca]

Jason Blake is an autistic 12-year-old living in a 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 PhoneixBird—her name is Rebecca—could be his first real friend. But as desperate as Jason is to met her, he’s terrified that if they do meet, Rebecca wil only see his autism and not who Jason really is.

By acclaimed writer Nora Raleigh Baskin, this is the breathtaking depiction of an autistic boy’s struggles—and a story for anyone who has ever worried about fitting in.

I've finished it. absolutely loved it. (view spoiler)[ the similarities between Jason and bennu really make you think and when Benny accepts himself at the end. I also love the relationship between rebecca and Jason. they both face difficulties in their own lives but are drawn together in the act of story telling. it was a very thought provoking book- not something I would normally read but very enjoyable none the less.

(view spoiler)[ I'm having a hard time liking this because I'm not really into this kind of story. However, I'm still going to finish this. I hope I will like this as the story goes on :) (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I really don't like it from it the start and tbh I'm having a hard time finishing it. However, as the story progresses I'm starting to like it. I love how each character shows development. Nevertheless I find it enjoyable. (hide spoiler)]
