HTML:<p><strong>A Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year!</strong></p> <p><strong>"Lester's first-person narrative is honest and pure." —Kirkus (starred review)</strong></p> <p><strong>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.</strong></p> <p>Lester's first days as a fifth grader at Quarry Elementary School are not even a little bit like he thought they would be<strong>—</strong>the cafeteria is too loud for Lester's ears, there are too many kids, and then there's the bully.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>"A lovely, heartfelt narrative about the things we've lost, and the things we've found again."</strong> <strong>—</strong><strong>Gary D. Schmidt, Newbery Honor winner for The Wednesday Wars</strong></p> <p><strong>"I LOVE LESTER." —Linda Urban, author of Milo Speck, Accidental Agent and A Crooked Kind of Perfect</strong></p>.
