Ollie doesn't see things the same way everybody else does (and he certainly doesn't see things the same way his older sister does). Instead of cars in traffic, Ollie sees a circus parade. Instead of cows grazing in a field, Ollie sees deadly bison with sharp horns and hooves. And at school, instead of letters on the board, Ollie sees birds with pointy beaks and fish with flapping tails in the big blue sea. Ollie knows he doesn't need glasses because he likes the world better the way he sees it. But will his parents and bossy sister see things his way?
