Ellie knows that she is different from her classmates. They do not understand why Ellie goes off by herself at recess and lunch to study nature, or why she is so quiet in class, preoccupied with drawing robots. When Ellie and her parents decide home schooling is a better fit, her world opens up. Ellie discovers that, when you share your dreams, there is a whole community to support you, even when those closest to you do not.
