Product Description
The Short Bus
<p><b>"What makes this journey so inspiring is Mooney's transcendent humor; the self he has become does not turn away from old pain but can laugh at it, make fun of it, make it into something beautiful."ۥ<i>Los Angeles Times</i></b></p><p>Labeled "dyslexic and profoundly learning disabled," Jonathan Mooney was a short-bus riderۥa derogatory term used for kids in special education. To learn how others had moved beyond labels, he bought his own short bus and set out cross-country, looking for kids who had dreamed up magical, beautiful ways to overcome the obstacles that separated them from the so-called normal world.<br><i>The Short Bus</i> is his irreverent and poignant record of that odyssey, meeting thirteen people in thirteen states who taught Mooney that there's no such thing as normalۥand that to really live, every person must find their own special way of keeping on. <i>The Short Bus</i> is a unique gem, propelled by Mooney's heart, humor, and outrageous rebellions.</p>
