A powerful middle grade novel about autism and growing up different.

What if the world doesn’t make sense, and you’re the only one who sees it that way?

Jonah is 13 years old, and he experiences the world differently.

School is confusing. Friendships feel unpredictable. The rules everyone else seems to understand… don’t always come naturally to him.

Inside his mind, Jonah imagines a vivid world of strange and powerful creatures, reflections of the thoughts, fears, and questions he can’t always explain out loud.

As he tries to navigate middle school, fit in with his peers, and make sense of social situations, Jonah finds himself caught between two worlds - the one everyone else lives in, and the one he experiences.

The In Between Kid is a heartfelt and deeply human middle grade novel about autism, seen through the eyes of an autistic boy trying to understand where he belongs.
