Take a refreshing look at Asperger's Syndrome with a character who will win your heart. Meet Jack, a ten-year-old with Asperger's Syndrome. Jack doesn't always see the world in the usual way and is constantly surprised by the amount of trouble he manages to find himself in. While celebrating his tenth birthday, Jack makes a promise to himself, to finally be accepted and become the most normal and popular kid in school. He gives himself a whole year, 365 days, 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds to achieve his dream. But as Jack counts down the seconds to normality he starts to question how normal the normal people really are and, in doing so, begins to value his own Aspergian traits. For being different isn't so wrong after all. An engaging story, told with humour, refreshingly different.
