This book was a sweet middle grade novel with disabled protagonists. Unfortunately, it did lean into the idea of an inspirational protagonist who overcomes her disability more than I would have liked. Still a good book with multiple interesting characters who have a personality beyond their disability or other “othering” characteristics!
