Preview: Hear it

He was always so normal!From being average in height, of average intelligence, and mediocre in soccer, Todd Farell just doesnbt stand out. Even the last topic he chose for a school report turned out to be nothing special. But now Todd is determined to change, to become someone not exactly normal.While practicing soccer moves with his best friend, listening to an unusual teacher who encourages thinking outside the box, and giving in to curiosity about Leda Johnson, the intelligent but bizarre girl from California, Todd seeks to understand the mysterious connections that exist in his school and in his town.This book is about being different and about fitting in, about accepting the differences of others and seeing ways that everyone is alike. It will challenge your assumptionsand it might just change the way you look at ordinary events like writing a report or walking home from school.
