Friends are needed even for those who don’t show it. “I just want to be like everyone else. I want to talk to people, to make friends, to laugh at someone’s jokes, to say things at the right moment. I want to be part of something—something bigger than myself.” An unusual student in an ordinary middle school. Everyone knows the rules of the game… except him. A piercing story about bullying, autism, difficult relationships with peers and parents, about love and finding yourself.
