Summary: Ryder Raymond, armed with quick wit and a prosthetic eye, leaves the comfort of Addison School for the Blind to tackle mainstream eighth grade. But fitting in at Papuaville Middle School proves tougher than expected. Within hours, he's tangled with a cat, fainted a teacher, clashed with local hero Max, and fallen for Max's girlfriend, Jocelyn. As Ryder navigates pity and pranks, he learns the hardest lesson: sometimes, you're the punchline. With support from his quirky Gramps and best friend Alice, Ryder must find the courage to stand up and find his place in this new world.
