Against all odds, f.O.g is victorious, and is hailed as "Forever, Our Greatest".f.O.g is at one level a simple tale of a weird little kid who saves the world from an alien invasion, just by being himself. At a deeper level though, this is a book designed to promote conversations, understanding and appreciation for those on Autism spectrum, and for those caring for them, living with them.The tale is told from the child's point of view, and develops a theme of transformation of perception, by changing the perspectives of others involved in the tale, and those reading it.

It's just a matter of perspective and perception; of how we see situations and people, compared to who they really are. Also, that reading and discussing this story will enable some helpful and healing conversations for those of us on 'the spectrum'; the weird little kids, and those weird little kids who have grown up.

The Horses of Saddlers Ranch
Coral Johnson grumpily rolled over and risked a quick glance at the clock on her bedside cabinet. Then she blinked her eyes several times and tried again. She hadn't been imagining it - 2:30 am blared back at her, the bright green lights forcing the seventeen-year-old girl to look the other way rather abruptly. It was still in the middle of the night, so what had woken her up? Some moonlight filtered into her bedroom through the curtains, but most of the room was still shrouded in darkness. Coral lay wide awake for several minutes, just staring toward the ceiling, wondering why she felt so uneasy all of a sudden. She usually preferred being at Saddlers Ranch; it was much better than living in town like her two best friends did. She'd had sleepovers at both Tilly Carpenter's and Lexie Howard's, but nothing was quite like being at home on her family's ranch, with the fresh open air and rugged landscape just outside her window. The horses! Coral bolted upright, no longer able to relax. That's what that noise was!
