About the Book

'You're just a freak. You're just a stupid freak. Freaks don't speak. Freaks shouldn't speak. Don't talk out of your head or the swirly clouds will eat you because sometimes clouds have teeth' Jason's best friend, Sunshine, has vanished. If only Jason could push through all the voices in his head, he'd know what happened; he'd tell everyone; he'd find her. But then people don't always listen to kids like Jason . . . A funny and compelling thriller about a boy on the edge of mainstream society.

Review :
Freaks Like Us is a compelling, superbly crafted story that will hook you and grab you from the first page. More than a book about mental illness written with an insider's knowledge, it is also a love story and a story written with love about young people on the outskirts of what the world calls normal. I urge you to read it Francisco X Stork, author of 'Marcelo in the Real World' I love this book. Susan Vaught has absolutely nailed this character, his pain, struggles and triumphs. Bravo! Terry Trueman, Printz Honor author of Stuck in Neutral Poignantly affirming of life and love even in the face of overwhelming loss, this is a haunting tragicomic drama of grief and renewal Horn Book, starred review of 'Trigger' Going Underground is full of compelling, fully realized characters (human and parrot alike) who try to muster the courage to move forward. Listed as one of 'Eight Books That Just Might Change Your Life' Bookpage.com Mental illness is in danger of becoming just another 'charming personality quirk' in teen fiction among less talented authors clinging to Mark Haddon's coattails but Freaks Like Us by Susan Vaught is in a class of its own Sunday Telegraph
