    by Kristine Barnett.

    Looks interesting, but I am unsure. Opinions?

    Not yet, but it is on my kindle waiting for me to have time LOL. I have no clue what it will be like but it looked interesting.

    This looks like the classic case of an extremely intelligent kid being misdiagnosed with a condition he never had. I strongly doubt that Jacob Barnett is actually autistic. [Donning flak jacket now.]

    This is on my list to read. A good book that is somewhat similar is "Square Peg", so you might want to check into that too.
