  2. Hugh Dancy and Rose Byrne are two of a kind

    A self-possessed individual graced with the good looks of a matinee idol -- large, bluish-gray eyes, a firm jaw line and fistfuls of brown, wavy hair -- actor Hugh Dancy seemed, at first glance, completely wrong for the lead in Fox Searchlight's unconventional romantic drama "Adam." But soon after meeting the 34-year-old English actor, director Max Mayer realized that Dancy had "the requisite insecurities" to play the part of an awkward, introverted young man with Asperger's syndrome who struggles with social interactions.

The endless possibility (with the start of the next school year as a built-in time limit) offers a great form for drama, and young-adult novelists exploit it to great effect. Here are three new novels that each take place over the course of a single summer and leave their heroes altered in ways they couldn't have imagined a short while before.

  4. 'Adam' resonates with Asperger's community

    When an actor plays a character with an unusual disorder, he can't think about how people who know that malady might watch his performance — looking for errors, symptoms that do or don't ring true.
