A Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the
Year! "Lester's first-person narrative is honest and pure."
--Kirkus (starred review) Perfect for fans of Fish in a Tree and
Wonder, this uplifting debut novel from Mandy Davis follows
space-obsessed Lester Musselbaum as he experiences the challenges
of his first days of public school: making friends, facing bullies,
finding his "thing," and accidentally learning of his
autism-spectrum diagnosis. Lester's first days as a fifth grader at
Quarry Elementary School are not even a little bit like he thought
they would be--the cafeteria is too loud for Lester's ears, there
are too many kids, and then there's the bully. Lester was always
home-schooled, and now he's shocked to be stuck in a school where
everything just seems wrong. That's until he hears about the
science fair, which goes really well for Lester! This is it. The
moment where I find out for 100 percent sure that I won. But then
things go a bit sideways, and Lester has to find his way back. A
touching peek into the life of a sensitive autism-spectrum boy
facing the everydayness of elementary school, Superstar testifies
that what you can do isn't nearly as important as who you are. "A
lovely, heartfelt narrative about the things we've lost, and the
things we've found again." --Gary D. Schmidt, Newbery Honor winner
for The Wednesday Wars "I LOVE LESTER." --Linda Urban, author of
Milo Speck, Accidental Agent and A Crooked Kind of Perfect
