Alex's New School: Keen Read

By Renee Conoulty

Imagine being thirteen on your first day of school.

Alex is a neurodivergent boy who has been homeschooled all his life. But now he's starting at a new school, and he's feeling anxious and uncertain about fitting in.

When he meets Maya, a friendly girl who stands up for him against bullies, everything changes. With Maya's help, Alex navigates the social landscape of junior high school, discovering that being different is not a bad thing and that he has a lot to offer the world. Together, they bond over their love of video games and become close friends.

As Alex's newfound confidence attracts the attention of other students, he makes more friends and no longer feels like the lonely boy sitting by himself at lunchtime. This heartwarming story celebrates the power of friendship and the importance of inclusion, reminding us that everyone deserves to have friends and be accepted for who they are.

Featuring dyslexia-friendly fonts, engaging illustrations, and captivating stories, Keen Read books are designed for readers of all ages, no matter their reading level.
