This is a really good book

I read this book when I was in high school. It is about a girl who became a paraplegic, and how her friends dealt with her condition. As a teenager, it helped me to see that people should not be treated "differently" just because they have a challenging physical problem. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about people who courageously overcome a challenging situation.
