Reaching for Sun by Tracie Vaughn Zimmer

4.0

So this is a rare occasion, but it I really enjoyed this book even though it was written in verse. My main complaint with poetry books is that they I cannot connect to the characters, but this was not the case with this story.
We follow young Josie who has cerebral palsy, and her life with her mom and grandma. She meets a young boy named Jordan, and both become best friends, as he doesn't judge her for her disease (unlike all other kids at school).
This book was so sweet and heartwarming. I couldn't put it down, and really enjoyed reading it.
A definite recommend when it comes to poetry books.
