A blind guide to normal

"Richie "Ryder" Raymond has a gift. He can find the punchline in any situation, even in his limited vision and prosthetic eye. During the past year at Addison School for the Blind, Ryder's quick wit earned the respect and friendship of his classmates. Heading to mainstream, or "normal," school for eighth grade is going to be awesome... In just the first hour of "normal" school, Ryder is attacked by...Gramp's cat, causes his bio teacher to pass out cold, makes an enemy of town hero Max, and falls for Jocelyn, the fierce girl next door who happens to be Max's girlfriend"---Publisher.
