Gerald's journal

the long version

A gentle, observant boy with special needs records his ups and downs at his new school in this lively, journal-style children's book. How does a kid fit in when he leaves his special education school behind to attend a general education school? That's the dilemma faced by a boy named Gerald, who writes down his feelings and observations as he makes his way through his first uncertain, friendless days. Gerald is just like every other kid. Yet he's different ... and he has a little trouble fitting in because of his disability. Over time, his traits of kindness, compassion and honesty pair with his great sense of humor, and his differences disappear behind his delightful personality. Gerald is truly the kind of hero we should all aspire to be. --Publisher.
