Alex fights a daily battle to figure
out what is real and what is not. Armed with a
take-no-prisoners attitude, her camera, a Magic 8 Ball,
and her only ally (her little sister), Alex wages a war
against her schizophrenia, determined to stay sane long
enough to get into college. She's pretty optimistic about
her chances until she runs into Miles. Didn't she imagine
him? Before she knows it, Alex is making friends, going to
parties, falling in love, and experiencing all the usual
rites of passage for teenagers. But Alex is used to being
crazy. She's not prepared for normal. Can she trust
herself? Can we trust her? (Eliot Rosewater
