Special People

The people in my family are always remembered, at least that's what my dad says. He says everyone on his side has a sparkle, everyone except for me. No one sees a sparkle in me, nothing shows up if you sprinkle fairy dust on me, and I'm pretty sure you'd need to sacrifice a goat to fix it.

In this book Rider feels left out, the very opposite of special, and generally unloved. Although he finds someone who loves him and feels he is special in an unexpected person.
