Some of them are because he's autistic. Most of them are because he's a teenager. </p><p class="book_description">When he&#8217;s seven years old, Freddy's mother walks him to the train station, sits him on a bench, kisses his forehead, and disappears from his life. In a few short days, everything changes. His father moves him across town, enrols him in a different school, and takes him away from little Saskia, the only friend he&#8217;s ever had. </P><p class="book_description">Ten years later, Freddy is struggling to get through his last year of high school. He painstakingly avoids interactions with other students, who don&#8217;t understand his hyper-literal perspective. But then Saskia appears, and she&#8217;s different from the laughing little girl he remembers. She no longer smiles, and she doesn&#8217;t speak. </p><p class="book_description">As they reconnect, Freddy begins to remember what really happened ten years ago. And everything he thought he knew begins to unravel. Both humorous and heartbreaking, <i>Do You Think This Is Strange?</i> is a coming-of-age tale you won&#8217;t soon forget.</p>
