Ava Anderson's life is far from normal. She is stuck with one leg because of her genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis that causes tumors to grow along the nerves. She has been stuck in the Special-Needs class since sixth grade even though she is intelligent and independent. Every day Ava recieves stares because she looks different. Fortunately, she has her best friend Jerry and fellow classmates who are always by her side, and who also understand the rude people and emotional pain handed to them on a daily basis. She knows for sure that without them she'd be dead by now.
However, Ava's ninth grade year promises big changes. And these changes are far from great. The bullying worsens, and Ava finds herself losing people she loves dearly, as well as facing the ones who left her in the past. Ava has always handled her depression and the taunts thrown at her well, but will this year be too much? Will she continue to withstand the hurt and bullying, or will the monster deep inside her-caused by society-finally make her break? ©2012-2013 by Liza K, all rights reserved All Rights Reserved
