Being yourself isnt always easy. People say, Just be yourself. But when youre new in school, all you want is to fit in to be like everyone else. When eleven-year-old Warren and his family move to a new city, his twin brother, who has Down syndrome, attracts too much attention for Warrens liking. Bennie lives his life happily.
