It's about a teen boy who volunteers at a suicide helpline and the girl he saves and falls in love with. This is a very new setting, and interesting to see. <br /><br />Also What Happens Next by Colleen Clayton (I think I told you about this one) when she copes with a rape she doesn't remember. And the family is very supportive which is not done often.Christina Kit.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-80132141236172785832012-07-27T15:50:23.899+02:002012-07-27T15:50:23.899+02:00Yes!

That would be really interesting.<br /><br />Right, Blind Spot - I have that one on my wishlist :) I didn't know that about Breaking Beautiful!

I know it's a book that really stays with you when you said "And it made me angry at all those people who don't treat Melody with the respect she deserves - I know I won't look at a kid in a wheelchair the same way I would have looked at him before reading this book."<br /><br />There are few books that have that kind of realness:)<br /><br />You're right, there aren't that many YA books about main characters with disabilities, and there SHOULD be. It educates everyone and they're really needed out there. I get so angry when people look down on people with disabilities. It's awful.<br /><br />I know this is MG, but it would have been interesting to see how she grows in high school, when it's so much harder to fit in. And where she's have to deal with insensitive boys and love interests as well.<br /><br />There's another book that features a blind girl - it's called Blind Spot and it combines a mystery as well.<br /><br />Breaking Beautiful by Jennifer Shaw Wolf has an amazing supporting character who has cerebral palsy, and he's just incredible. And they're in high school so you see him dating and dealing with all that. I loved this book, it's one of my favorites.:)Christina Kit.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-61463203035583686322012-07-26T15:03:46.008+02:002012-07-26T15:03:46.008+02:00This is one of my favorite MG books of all time!

It really does evoke so many emotions- I often found myself on the verge of tears one moment and then cheering with a huge smile on my face the next. Most of all, it just made me so, so thankful I don't have to deal with everything Melody did. This book certainly made an impact on me- I have given disabilities like this a lot more thought. This heart-wrenching, beautifully written, thought-provoking story is on the top of my list of books every middle-grader should read:)Emily @ Forever Literaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220478018390968505noreply@blogger.com
