After Jackson visits a friend and is exposed to an online game in the alt-world things begin to happen. He takes a sensory break followed by Digby that is life-changing for him and his friend. His mother, already overwhelmed by caring for her diverse family is befriended by the trusted coach while her husband Steve remains out of town working making her parenting difficult. Jackson's two sisters provide charming interlude and boyfriend Riley is the best of the good guys. This book's complicated plot is ripe with interesting characters. Jackson, talented as a dancer is given a lead in the dance contest. His dance teacher is dedicated to her student. Grandmother Pamela remains a rock of support and dead grandmother is there thru the shoe to provide inspiration. Amazingly all these characters come together in the end to tell the true story of what happened in that restroom and who was responsible. Jackson's neurodiversity is finally diagnosed and the mysteries are solved. Thanks to #AnUnusualBoy#NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.
