Reaching for Sun by Tracie Vaughn Zimmer
Josie Wyatt knows what it means to be different. Her family's small farm house seems to shrink every time another mansion grows up behind it. She lives with her career-obessed mother and opinionated Gran, but has never known her father. Then there's her cerebral palsy: even if Josie wants to forget that she was born with a disability , her Mom can't seem to let it go. Yet when a strange new boy - Jordan- moves into one of those houses nearby, he seems oblivious to all the things that make Josie different. Before long, Josie finds herself reaching out for something she's never really known, a friend and possibly more.
Interlinked free verse poems tell the beautiful heartfelt story of a girl, a family farm reduced to a garden and a year of unforgettable growth.
