Book Club Reading Selection

I'm happy to announce that the Book Club selection is Anything But Typical by Nora Raleigh Baskin. I have multiple copies available in the library that can be checked out by students and staff. We will meet on May 16 @ 2:45 in the HS Library to discuss the book and introduce a summer reading incentive program. A little birdie told me there may also be treats at the meeting. Here is a brief synopsis of the book from www.goodreads.com:

"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 PhoenixBird — her name is Rebecca — could be his first real friend. But as desperate as Jason is to meet her, he’s terrified that if they do meet, Rebecca will 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."
