Excerpt
"Entertaining, accessible, and beautifully lucid look at what it is like to have autism."
—Kirkus Review
Learn more.
Sixth-grader Paul Stephens, desperate to stay in a normal school, must tame his “Beast”— the bizarre autistic behaviors that make other students recoil and mock.
But how can he tame his Beast when it protects him from a world where looking into another face can send his head spinning, voices crash into his ears like a bombardment, and trying to respond to the simplest question can lock up his limbs? Sometimes the Beast is his only refuge.
In his struggle, Paul learns to deal with a boy even more autistic than he is, to function as a successful part of an academic team of “normals,” and to speak up for the Beast because he has learned that it means speaking up for himself. Learn more.

Are your eyes listening?
That’s what needs to happen to hear my writing voice. Because of autism, the thief of politeness and friendship, I have no sounding voice.
By typing words I can play with my life and stretch from my world to yours. I become
a real person when my words try to reach out to you
without my weird body scaring you away. Then I am alive.
With writing I reach out to try, and autism or hate
or walls of doubt can’t hold me. I am pleased
to be typing away — typing away loneliness, typing
away silence, using paper to hug you and slap you and
join you.
Click, click, clicking keys are my heartbeat. Listen with your eyes.
