Chocky

When I was a kid, one of my favorite shows was a British mini-series called Chocky. Years later, I found out it was based on this book. I feel like John Wyndham was probably ahead of his time. Matthew is an ordinary young boy with ordinary abilities. Then one day, something changes. He begins talking to himself... and not just about anything, but intensely and resolutely about subjects the old Matthew would not have understood, far less taken interest in. He develops other interesting talents as well, becoming proficient in mathematics, and showing an unusual gift for art. His parents and his teachers take notice, but not all are prepared for the reality behind the changes.
