Timothy Scott: Shadow Island by Tobey Alexander

When darkness invades enchanted lands, can one misfit shine with the full power of the spectrum?

Twelve-year-old Timothy Scott fears he’ll never fit in. Constantly bullied at school and haunted by nightmares of a shadowy monster, the timid boy thinks life couldn’t get much worse—until he’s diagnosed with autism. But he discovers his different personality is a unique gift when he travels through a mysterious mirror into a cheering crowd of mystical creatures calling him their savior.

With the help of his newfound friends, Timothy gradually learns his uniqueness is his strength and tries to embrace his role as a protector. But despite the hope and trust the strange world’s people place in him, he’s terrified he won’t be good enough to save the realm from a rising evil…

Can he dig deep to find the hero inside and defend the land from a deadly threat?
