Bookroo's summary

Heidi wants the attention her friend gets from wearing glasses, so she fakes poor vision to get her own pair. But when her new glasses blur her world, chaos ensues. As Heidi stumbles through her days, making messes and missteps, she must confront the truth about what truly makes her unique. Will she learn that she doesn't need glasses to stand out? Join Heidi on a whimsical journey of self-discovery, where seeing clearly means more than just vision.

From the publisher

Heidi Heckelbeck sees things differently in this whimsically witchy chapter book. When her friend Lucy Lancaster gets glasses, Heidi notices all the attention Lucy gets and decides that she, too, needs a new look. In order to get glasses, Heidi pretends that she has trouble seeing. All goes as planned and Heidi gets a cool pair of glasses–but when she puts them on there’s just one problem: She can’t see a thing! Heidi walks around with fuzzy vision and makes many messes until she realizes that she doesn’t need a pair of glasses to make her special. With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Heidi Heckelbeck chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
