Everyday Hero
“...in favour of the delightfully fresh prospective Alice provides”
Alice doesn’t like noise, smells or strangers. She does like rules. Lots of rules. Nobody at her new school knows she has Asperger’s, so it doesn’t take long for her odd behavior to get her into trouble. When she meets Megan in detention, she doesn’t know what to make of her. Megan doesn’t smell, she’s not terribly noisy, and she’s not exactly a stranger, but is she a friend? Megan seems fearless to Alice—but also angry or maybe sad. Alice isn’t sure which. When Megan decides to run away, Alice resolves to help her friend, no matter how many rules she has to break or how bad it makes her feel.
“Insightful and sometimes moving, Alice’s evolving coming-of-age provides a prospective exploration of unexpected friendship in the face of disability.”

“Readers look at life through the eyes of Asperger’s. The author understands Alice and does an astounding job bringing her to life. Kids will understand and empathize with Alice by book’s end. They will also understand a little more about kids like Megan. Understanding can go a long way toward kindness and acceptance, making Everyday Hero a brilliant debut.”
