A Simply Beautiful Story of Friendship

The story is one of friendship. One friend shares something very special with her best friend who had always helped her in the past. This new sharing was more than it appeared in the beginning. The knowledge and inner soul of the young character Kathryn show another side to a topic often avoided and not dealt with by readers, teachers, or youngsters. In the end, the sadness is felt by those who can empathize with the main heroine, Kathryn, when she must be happy for her friend even though she is sad for herself - it is a book with so many lessons and topics for discussion that it boggles the mind. To ease your mind, if you are teachers or parents, order the parent/teacher guide it provides excellent literature extensions. Hope to see these wonderful women from Open Minds Inc. in Canada at the next CEC convention. If you didn't hear the author talk - you'll want to at the next convention.

I loved the book and the story surprised me!

I couldn't believe Kathryn was in a wheelchair. I was so surprised by it that I read all night and didn't put it down until I finished it. I would recommend it to everyone. I am now reading another book about the same character called Whoa, Nellie! and I love it too.
