Anything But Typical by Nora Baskin

Baskin, N. R. (2010). Anything But Typical. New York: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing.

I really enjoyed reading Anything But Typical and learning a little bit of what life is like as Jason. As I try to relate him to my life, I can completely understand his social inequalities and his new found safety nets on the internet, as he writes his stories on the storyboard.  Sometimes our society focuses too much on the physical characteristics of a person, that one cannot get in and really learn the good of people. In this Notable Children's Book Award, Nora Baskin hits the nail on the head when Jason must decide if he should meet Pheonix in person, or continue what he feels most safe doing.
