The Boy Who Said Nonsense, written by Felicia Sanzari Chernesky, reviewed by Todd Erickson

Summary: A family finds a baby in a pumpkin patch and takes him in. Tate grows into a kid who loves numbers and he expresses his passion in what others consider in a rather odd fashion. Kids at school and others think Tate simply yells nonsense, but his brother begins to see there's a method to Tate's madness. He yells out whatever number he counts instantly just by looking at things.

Straight Talk for Librarians: A boy who says nonsense is a simple celebration of what makes us unique, as it is what makes Tate different that makes him special. Despite the teasing and misunderstanding of others, including the bafflement of his own family Tate appears to simply spout nonsense. His ability to look at a bunch of things and know exactly how many items there are is what makes him special, and in the end it is Tate's special gift that saves the day.
