Justin Case is twelve years old, mildly autistic, dyslexic, and wildly imaginative. His diary-sorry, dairy-is a sacred space where football stats meet spelling mantras, and dreams unfold with mathematical precision. Each night, Justin records a dream exactly 666 words long. Each morning, he wakes a little wiser.
From spelling bees to cafeteria rebellions, silent pilgrimages to pig-led revolutions, alien janitors to dream dictionaries, Justin’s dreams are flash fiction with heart. They span genres, challenge norms, and reveal a boy learning to navigate a world that doesn’t always understand him.
But Dear Dairy is more than a collection of dreams. It’s a love letter to neurodivergent minds, to the power of imagination, and to the invisible threads that bind us. It’s a story of becoming-of finding voice, finding connection, and finding peace.
Through 42 diary entries and 42 dreams, Justin’s journey unfolds with humor, honesty, and a voice you won’t forget. And when the final dream arrives, it will stay with you-long after the last page.
Perfect for fans of George Saunders, David Sedaris, and Jenny Lawson, Dear Dairy will make you laugh, wince, and remember the strange, electric truths of being twelve.
This is not just a coming-of-age story. It’s a coming-to-voice story.
And Justin Case has something to say.
