Well I like a good list myself!

That was lovely and positive book about going beyond your comfort zone and being brave enough to have new experiences. Xander's love for his grandmother was quite endearing.

Funny, moving and with a protagonist you can't help but fall in love with, 100 Remarkable Feats of Xander Maze is a book about:
1. Never accepting the unacceptable
2. The power of lists
3. One boy's unconditional love for his nanna "(Harper Collins)

At times, the reader is cringing in their seat as Xander must endure the normal high school problems with his additional disability and lack of social nous causing him to fall victim to others mean-spirited pranks. But there is also good, and Xander does meet some very caring and understanding individuals eventually who help him cope with losing his dying grandmother.
