ANYTHING BUT TYPICAL by Nora Raleigh Baskin, read by Tom Parks
Jason Blake is a 12-year-old autistic boy who is trying to be understood in a "neurotypical" world. Baskin lets us see inside the mind of a bright young man struggling to be accepted for who he is and be heard in his own voice. Tom Parks brings to life an inspiring new hero, and audio is a great medium to make it even more powerful. Ages 10 and up.
