This book was so cute! I loved it so much the illustrations are so adorable!
We meet an eleven year old Edie Eckhart who has cerebral palsy and her life is written in diary form so every day and time you get to learn more about her and best friend Oscar Jenkins their relationship was like romeo and juliet but once they started school for the first time it changes everything and people saw Edie a lot different because she has Cerebral Palsy and Edie proved to many that her condition doesn’t really get to her but what made her really think is if she wasn’t disabled what would her life be like which connects to a lot of disabled children and adults male or female!
Rosie wrote this book from her honestly heart about disability and how to accept yourself for being different and the shocking part is that Edie ended up in love with a girl instead of a boy so there’s some LGBT in this middle grade I’m not so bothered about it in middle grade books because I don’t judge anyone choice of love but what I enjoyed the most is the Cerebral Palsy Rep every now and again Cerebral Palsy gets hidden under the carpet because some authors are scared fo speak about it so Rosie made me had so much inspiration to write my own cerebral palsy character even though he’s a little older than this audience I would love to write a middle grade like this some day, I can’t wait to see Edie again in book too she felt so much like a friend to me!
