Emily Good As Gold

Thirteen-year-old developmentally disabled Emily struggles between being a little girl and becoming a woman. “This is a well-written book on a subject that few authors choose to deal with. It offers insights about what it feels like to be one of those 'special' students, how painful it is to be stared at and whispered about. More importantly, it offers a sense that these students are, in most of the important ways, like all the rest of us.”--VOYA
