Anything But Typical chronicles the life of Jason who has autism. He's a tween who's experiencing the usual middle school life stuff and filtering it through the experience of autism. I love how this book gives the reader the perspective of how someone with autism views things and his reactions to it. I felt like the reader got to know Jason. At heart is a budding romance with a girl he talks to online about writing. His fear is that if she finds out that he has autism that she will not be interested in him. What's a guy to do?
This book is not going to appeal to the masses. A reader who enjoys realistic fiction (not the young adult, teen angst, parents are drunks realistic fiction) about trying to fit in and still be yourself. It's very sweet and clean. It's also very short.
Library Chick Rating - Scrambled.
