Jay Grows an Alien
Levine, Caroline A.
Jay Grows an Alien
Jay often feels out of place in the world around him but doesn't know why. Being called names like space cadet and asp-booger confuses him even further. He has looked up asp in the dictionary and knows he is not an asp, a small poisonous snake from Egypt. But what is he then? Caroline Levine's short novel, Jay Grows an Alien, follows Jay, a young boy with Asperger Syndrome, at school and home. Over the course of the novel, as he deals with bullies, faces the difficulties of a sibling relationship, and befriends a cyborg from outer space, Jay begins to find his place and comes to understand that differences in him and others are unique and special.
