No Matter the Distance by Cindy Baldwin

5.0

This AMAZING Novel in Verse, also known as "65 Roses" was a testament to the sheer determination of the author to live life to the fullest. Through friendship, family & a new friend, Rose the Dolphin, Penny is able to discover who she is, as she lives with Cystic Fibrosis. The connection that Rose and Penny have defies everything. Rose is lost, needs help finding her way back to her pod. Penny is lost, trying to figure out how to write a poem about who she is. Together, the two form a bond that helps both of them: Rose, back to her pod and Penny, to discover that she won't always be identified as the girl with "65 Roses". She shows the reader and world that nothing can stop her. I cannot WAIT to get this book on my library shelves.
