Book Description
Meet Brynn Evason. In many ways, she's just like an ordinary seventeen-year-old girl. But readers soon learn that Brynn is different in one very significant way: she has cerebral palsy, and must use a power wheelchair and computer to communicate. After her two best friends betray her, Brynn is more excited than ever to spend the summer at Camp Lakewood. She soon learns, however, that getting away from home doesn't spare her from all of life's dramas. While struggling to establish her individuality, Brynn soon meets Tommy, a boy with whom there appears to be an instantaneous spark. But when a misunderstanding puts the new couple in jeopardy, Brynn must find a way to clear Tommy's name -- and establish her independence -- once and for all. -- back cover.

Dancing with Daisy

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
When he finds a photograph of his grandfather as a young man, Liam is full of questions. But that's just fine, because Grampy has a story to spin with every answer. On a fall day in 1962, he tells Liam, he had a run in with a nasty girl in search of a dance partner: Daisy was her name. What follows is a tall tale about Grampy's tango with a hurricane, and all those signs of aging--the wrinkles, the stooped back, the croaky voice, the false teeth--can be chalked up to Daisy's persistence and Grampy's refusal to dance. Of course, it takes a talking to from Nana to get that Daisy to blow off elsewhere. Acclaimed author Jan L. Coates and award-winning illustrator Jos e Bisaillon join forces in this charming picture book to craft a tale both touching and amusing about aging and the bond between a grandfather and his grandson. Bisaillon's gorgeous, playful illustrations bring the dance to life, evoking that windy girl and her insistent ways, as well as the warm affection between Grampy and Liam.
