Product Description
Jason Loring felt like an alien. His classmates avoided him and called him names. His stepbrother, Robbie, teased him. His father and stepmother didn't listen to him. Now he was starting fifth grade at a new school. He hoped that this time, this one time, he would just fit in. He was smart. He looked OK. He was good at chess. But whenever he opened his mouth, he never knew whether IT would happen, and he would look and sound like a freak. That was the problem. A big problem! And it made him angry. Very angry! He had to learn to cool it, and he had to learn fast!
What happens at the new school, why his father shares his secret, and how Jason changes leads to acceptance at last.
