A Kirkus Reviews Best Middle Grade Book of 2019
âA big-hearted story thatâs as sweet as it is awesome.â âR.J. Palacio, author of Wonder
In the tradition of Wonder and Out of My Mind, this big-hearted middle grade debut tells the story of an irrepressible girl with cerebral palsy whose life takes an unexpected turn when she moves to a new town.
Ellieâs a girl who tells it like it is. That surprises some people, who see a kid in a wheelchair and think sheâs going to be all sunshine and cuddles. The thing is, Ellie has big dreams: She might be eating Stoufferâs for dinner, but one day sheâs going to be a professional baker. If sheâs not writing fan letters to her favorite celebrity chefs, sheâs practicing recipes on her well-meaning, if overworked, mother.
But when Ellie and her mom move so they can help take care of her ailing grandpa, Ellie has to start all over again in a new town at a new school. Except sheâs not just the new kidâsheâs the new kid in the wheelchair who lives in the trailer park on the wrong side of town. It all feels like one challenge too many, until Ellie starts to make her first-ever friends. Now she just has to convince her mom that this town might just be the best thing that ever happened to them! - Simon and Schuster
