Description

When Deenie finds out that she has scoliosis, she’s scared. When she sees the brace for the first time, she wants to scream.

But the words won’t come out. And Deenie, beautiful Deenie, who everyone says should be a model, is stuck wearing a brace from her neck to her hips. For four years—or longer. She never worried about how she looked before—how will she ever face the hard times ahead?

    I feel in love with this book in 3rd grade, I remember reading the entire book in one night. My daughter is now in the second grade, I hope she falls in love with the Judy Blume collection as I did as a child.

    I read this book in an afternoon. I loved it. My mother had scoliosis growing up, at about Deenie's age. Reading it, I kept thinking about her and what she must have gone through. Still, I think this book would appeal to anyone, if they had a personal connection to the story or not. It's frank and well - written, and it really makes you think. I recommend it.
