About
the Book
Fourteen-year-old Nathaniel Clark lives in two
worlds—the outside world of his family
and friends and his own,
special, inside Aspie world, where he’s not forced to interact
with
people or worry about wearing his clothes right-side out. The world where he can
solve mathematical problems that elude even the brightest graduate
students. The
world where he feels he can find his own inner truth. People
say he’s a genius, but
Nathaniel thinks differently. According to a
book he once read, a true genius uses his
talent to make a contribution to
the world. Nathaniel takes the definition literally, and
begins his quest
for genius status. "I will start, right after I wash the chocolate off my
face. If I want to be seen as a genius, I should not look like an
idiot." Nathaniel has a
sky-high IQ and perfect SAT scores, but
Jennifer Roy and her husband, Greg, have a
remarkable 8-year-old son, Adam,
who not only inspired the character of Nathaniel
Clark, but also created
the "Amazing Race" charts and the narrative at the back
of
MindBlind.
