The Eye of the Sheep

Meet Jimmy Flick. He's not like other kids — he's both too fast and too slow. He sees too much and too little. Jimmy's mother, Paula, is the only one who can manage him. She teaches him to count sheep so that he can fall asleep. She holds him tight enough to stop his cells spinning. It is only Paula who can keep Jimmy out of his father's way. When Jimmy's world falls apart, he must navigate the unfathomable on his own and try to make things right.
