Alex loves his
family, and yet he struggles to connect with his eight-year-old autistic son,
Sam. The strain has pushed his marriage to the breaking point. So Alex moves in
with his merrily irresponsible best friend on the world’s most uncomfortable
blow-up bed.
As Alex navigates single life, long-buried family
secrets, and part-time fatherhood, his son begins playing Minecraft. Sam’s imagination
blossoms and the game opens up a whole new world for father and son to share.
Together, they discover that sometimes life must fall apart before you can
build a better one.
Inspired by Keith Stuart’s own relationship with his autistic son, A Boy Made of Blocks is a tear-jerking, funny, and,
most of all, true-to-life novel about the power of difference and one very special
little boy.
