"I'm in the middle of a full-blown spaz-attack, and I don't care. I don't care at all. At home I always try to act normal, and spaz-attacks definitely aren't normal. Here, people understand. They know a spaz-attack signals that I'm "
"excited. They're excited too, so they squeal with me; some even spaz on purpose, if you can call that spazzing . . ."
""An unforgettable coming-of-age novel about what it's like to live with a physical disability

It's the summer of 1970. Seventeen-year-old Jean has cerebral palsy, but she's always believed she's just the same as everyone else. She's never really known another disabled person before she arrives at Camp Courage. As Jean joins a community unlike any she has ever imagined, she comes to question her old beliefs and look at the world in a new light. The camp session is only ten days long, but that may be all it takes to change a life forever.

Henry Holt published Harriet McBryde Johnson's adult memoir, "Too Late to Die Young," in April 2005. Ms. Johnson has been featured in The New York Times Magazine and has been an activist for disability rights for many years.

Recenzii

"an edgy and compelling narrative that will prompt readers to re-evaluate their own attitudes and assumptions." -- Kate Agnew Guardian 20080415 "It blew my mind! It's an extraordinary book - honest and tough, heartbreaking and cruel and it made me re-think so much." -- Wendy Cooling "Whatever your situation, this subversive and mind-shattering novel will change your views forever. Endless food for thought. Every young person should read it." Northern Echo 20080429 "This book is smart and honest, funny and eye-opening. A must-read." -- Starred Review School Library Journal "Wry, at times searing ... Readers will find this journey with Jean a rare privelege, as she rethinks her place in the world." -- Starred Review Publishers Weekly
