When you think of the typical book hero, what do you instantly think of? Strong, intelligent, popular, a jock? I'm not saying Alex, the hero in Farsighted by Emlyn Chand, isn't smart or strong, but he definitely isn't a jock or popular. In fact, Alex is pretty much an outcast in addition to being born blind. With the help of the supporting characters Alex will learn about himself and hopefully change the future.
