Mannequin Girl by Ellen Litman
4.0
I picked this book up off the new release shelf at my library based solely on the cover which usually people would tell you not to do but in this case worked out quite well for me.
Kat is a little girl of two school teacher parents who are deeply in love and deeply loved by their students. She looked forward to the day that she can go to the same school that they teach at and take part in the conversations with their beloved crowd. Her first year of school is about to start, she got a new brown skirt and a new bag to keep all her books in, all she needs to do is pass the prescreening physical and she will be in the clear. The one problem is, as she leans over getting her back tested the nurse realizes that she will not pass with her back. She had scoliosis, curving her spine.
Heartbroken and her life now taking a turn in a direction she had never imagined possible Kat is sent to a boarding school for children with the scoliosis. Kids in back braces, laying down instead of sitting up in chairs, swimming lessons is what she is met with. Here is where she changes.
The book goes through the story of Kat and her parents. How one crooked back changed the path of all of their lives and how they grew up and apart.
I would recommend reading this book. It’s one of the books that, as I have mentioned before, will be on my daughters to read list as she grows up.
