Eddie sees the world a bit differently. It’s just how he’s wired. And his friend Vinnie the gecko gets him, even if his classmates and teachers sometimes don’t. When a final class project about MC Escher teams Eddie up with the overly helpful new girl, they both begin to learn that there’s more than one “right way” to see the world. Best enjoyed by ages 6-12.
