The Black Balloon

All Thomas wants is a normal adolescence but his autistic brother, Charlie, thwarts his every opportunity. The Black Balloon is a story about fitting in, discovering love, and accepting your family. It’s not easy being Thomas. He’s turning sixteen; and moving into a new house, and school. His older brother Charlie is autistic and has ADD. He’s also unpredictable, sometimes unmanageable, and often disgusting. Thomas hates his brother but wishes he didn’t. When his mother have a complication with her pregnancy, Thomas and his father must take on Charlie’s daily routine; and Thomas experiences the less savoury aspects of coping with his brother. Until Thomas’s birthday dinner turns into a nightmare. Will Thomas, with the help of his girlfriend, Jackie (Ward), accept his brother?
