Liam Creedy has not had the best of times at Patrick Freeman High. Now in his final year, he suffers at the hands of bullies and is rendered unconscious. When he wakes, he finds himself in a strange distortion of school life - the building has no main exit, the classrooms have become work places, the prefects are more like police, and no one ever mentions their parents. Now everything and everyone is in black and white; everyone except Liam and Mr Samson, the boy's aloof and mysterious guide in this nightmare world. Has he slipped into a parallel world? Is he really in a coma lying on a hospital bed? Or is he dead and in some place of limbo? As tension builds and the school moves nearer and nearer to all out war, Samson presses Liam to find the blueprint and change it - only then will he find the way out. Will Hadcroft weaves a tale that dares to confront one's right to be an individual in a world that demands conformity and uniformity. He questions the education system, the roles we are pressured to play in society, and the need to challenge accepted norms before it is too late.

What makes the Asperger child immerse himself in such things as Doctor Who and The Incredible Hulk? In this honest and entertaining autobiographical account, Will Hadcroft links his obsessive TV series fixations to eventually being diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. He describes drawing comfort from identifying himself with heroic individuals or fictional characters, and the liberating effect of an accurate diagnosis for someone who felt 'out of place' and didn't know why. This original and highly readable book offers a fresh insight into the experience of feeling 'unmutual', or misunderstood and how this can result in bullying at school and in the workplace, escalating into social phobia, paranoia and obsessive behaviour. It amply illustrates some of the more subtle expressions of the Asperger condition and provides an accessible introduction to those new to AS.
