Summary of Anything But Typical
Jason Blake is a 12-year-old boy with mental autism. Many people misunderstand Jason because sometimes he does weird and awkward things. Despite his autism, he is a amazing writer. He also has a hard time accepting who he is, until he meets a girl with screen name Phoenix Bird (real name Rebecca) on his writing website Storyboard.com. She enjoys Jason's story writing very much, but she doesn't know about his autism.
Jason and Rebecca are going to meet for the first time at the Storyboard convention. Jason is terrified that Rebecca will not see him for who he is and see him for his autism. Rebecca accepts him for who he is, even with his autism, and they become great friends.
Anything But Typical has a Schneider Family Book Award.
