Description

A tender, smart, and romantic YA novel from debut author Hilary Reyl, about an autistic boy who falls in love Martin is an American teen on the autism spectrum living in France with his mom and sister for the summer. He falls for a French girl who he thinks is a real-life incarnation of a character in his favorite book . Over time Martin comes to realize she is a real person and not a character in a novel while at the same time learning that love is not out of his reach. Praise for Kids Like Us: "The most original voice since The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime tells the most radiantly human love story since Eleanor & Park. Reyl's extraordinary YA debut isn't just a book you read; this is one of those rare books that reaches in deep and writes you back." --Margaret Stolh, co-author of the #1 New York Timesand international bestseller Beautiful Creatures "Martin's childhood memories, such as his parents' early distress at his diagnosis. . . blend seamlessly into the narrative, while Martin's reflections on 'the neurodiversity movement, ' and efforts to 'cure' autism raise thought-provoking ethical questions." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "Reyl movingly captures the point of view of a person who sees the world in a completely different way.
