Real by Carol Cujec, Peyton Goddard

3.0

This book does a lot of things well. Charity's voice is authentic and clear. The authors do a masterful job of putting us in her head and feeling her struggles. The pacing feels a bit off for me - it was a bit slow to get started, and then the climactic scene at the hearing felt rushed. That evil mom really needed more of a comeuppance.

This book will open some eyes to the assumptions we make about people who move through the world differently than we do.
