Benjamin, a nine-year-old autistic boy with a love of Disney,
was taking his first trip to Walt Disney World. The last thing his
parents expected was to see him come alive.
What followed was a remarkable tale of inspiration, heartbreak,
dedication and joy as Benjamin's family relocated from Seattle to
Orlando in order to capture that magic and put it to practical use.
Amidst the daily challenges of life for an autistic child,
Benjamin's passion for one particular theme park attraction would
lead his family on a breathtaking journey of hope and
discovery.
How many rides does it take for an ending to become a new
beginning? Cory Doctorow, New York Times best-selling author of
Homeland, Little Brother, and Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
writes: "Brimming with heart and tragedy overcome, this is a book
that captures the tribulations of parenthood, the magic of Disney
World, and the wonderful online communities that allow us to lend
aid and comfort to strangers around the world." Kevin Yee, author
of Epcot: The First Thirty Years: An Unofficial Retrospective, and
Walt Disney World Hidden History: Remnants of Former Attractions
and Other Tributes writes: ."..it's a good book, the kind all of us
should be reading. It's the kind of book that transcends its
supposed subject matter and becomes about everything else that
matters in life and love; the kind of book that makes you better
for having read it. Above all, it's a book that addresses emotions
straight on. The father's emotions, Ben's emotions, and even our
own emotions as readers... ...Ben's final ride is a touching one
that resonates deeply of parental anguish and reward. I won't spoil
the details for you, but you should seek it out."
