   Summary

   He is five when the doctor says he’s Quirkless.
   He is fourteen when he learns that some dreams don’t survive no matter how much you love them.
   This is the story of a quiet boy. A kind boy. A brilliant boy the world never really saw.
   It is not a story of rescue.
   It is not a story of triumph.
   It is the long, slow story of what happens when someone tries everything—and still disappears.
