Seventh-grader Deenie's world flips when she's diagnosed with scoliosis, dashing her dreams of cheerleading and carefree Saturdays. Her mother's modeling ambitions clash with Deenie's struggle to accept a life-altering brace. As she navigates school and friendships, Deenie must find strength in her new reality. Can she embrace her uniqueness, or will the brace define her forever? Discover how Deenie faces the challenges of growing up with courage and resilience.
From the publisher
When Deenie sees the brace for the first time, she wants to scream, Forget it… I’m never going to wear that thing. Everyone will know. Everyone!But the words won’t come out. And Deenie, beautiful Deenie, who everyone says should be a model, is stuck wearing a brace from her neck to her hips. For four years-or longer. How will she ever face the hard times ahead?
