(1) YA Seventeen-year-old Marcelo is at the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum. A summer job in the mailroom at his father's law firm tests Marcelo's coping and social skills, moral compass, and loyalty. His brave journey into "the real world" will engender a protective instinct in readers, ratcheting up the tension as the plot winds to its satisfying denouement.
