The Alien Logs of Super Jewels
Why does everything seem so easy for everyone else? As Jewels recounts her adventures from Kinderprison to Muddle School, she looks for clues to what sets her apart. Could she be an alien, a superhero, or something completely different?
Join Jewels as she explores the confusing - and often hilarious - world of social expectations. Jewels' journey of self-discovery takes her to some unexpected places, and most surprising of all is finding a little bit of ourselves along the way.
"The Alien Logs of Super Jewels is a lovely tale of growing up, an amazing example of talking openly and lovingly about Asperger's Syndrome. Told in a lighthearted and humorous way through the voice of Jewels, who is blessed that when her family sees her, they see her strengths, her abilities and her superhero self. I can't wait to share this masterpiece with the autism community!"
~Kelly Lee, Executive Director, Camp Encourage
