Book Synopsis
A ten year old blessed with a great intellect is also damned with tumors and deformities that make him an outcast. He tries to fit in a society that doesn’t accept his deformed looks. In school, he plays dumb to hide his high IQ and intellect; he doesn’t want another reason for people to see him as a freak. Little by little his deception falls apart, and finds himself seeing the word through his older brother’s eyes, a brother who is sound of body but has the intellect of a vegetable. Trying to fit into a world that does not accept deviations from what is considered normality is not easy task, and the tragic events that follow make that desire for acceptance an impossibility.
