Discover a heartwarming true story of joy, hope, and resilience…Now a major motion picture starring Zachary Levi.

The Unbreakable Boy is the raucously tender story of the life of a teenage boy with autism and a rare brittle bone disease who joyfully embraces life's tragedies and triumphs.

Like any other teenage boy, Austin loves pizza, movies, dancing, and girls. But unlike most other eighteen-year-olds, he has a rare brittle bone disease, was locked in a mental ward as a child, and is autistic. Yet Austin doesn't let any of that stop him. Every day is the best day in the world to him and one of his main goals in life is to show his broken father, and anyone else hanging around, that life is all about unabashed faith and love.

Written with remarkable candor by Austin's father, Scott, and New York Times best-selling author Susy Flory, The Unbreakable Boy weaves the beautiful and often humorous tale of how Austin teaches his father—and everyone else he encounters—to have faith in God and trust that one day life's messes will all make sense. Austin's journey dares us all to believe that:

• Miracles are possible.
• Hope does spring eternal.
• We can find joyous moments to celebrate every day.

Austin's magic touch will convince you that whatever life challenges you face can always be answered with love. Grab a front-row seat and learn from the Unbreakable Boy how to live a life of joy, hope, and resilience regardless of your circumstances.

The beauty of Austin’s spirit

This book reinforces my belief that my complaints are invalid. Life can be so beautiful if we take each day as God grants it.

Loved it!

The story felt raw and real. It really drew me in, as I have a special needs grandson. I admire the love shared within the family and the focus on their Christian faith.

Thank You

loved it...♡ mom to a austic 7 yeat old and hoping I am doing enough most days this book helped me realize I am doing the best I can.

A sweet story of redemption that had me choked up in joyful tears a few times.

A really sweet story. I wanted to read the book before going to watch the movie. Didn’t know what to expect, but I am very happily surprised at my engagement in the author’s vulnerability. The narrator does a good job of portraying Austin‘s innocence and curiosity. A very sweet and quick read that will leave you motivated to be a better parent.

So good.. so relatable..

As a mother of a neurodivergent child, I often struggle... feel inadequate, etc. This really resonated with me. It's okay to just laugh sometimes, to enjoy your child and to see the brighter side of things. Thank you so much for writing this book,
