Autistic American teen Martin Dubois begins attending a "general-ed" French high school while on location with his famous filmmaker mother. When he finds himself attracted to a girl in his class, Martin struggles to connect with her and to live in the neurotypical world. This story about where and how people find common ground offers a likable protagonist and an optimistic yet realistic denouement.
