Illustrated by
Elliott Gilbert.
Paralyzed from the waist down from a diving accident, eleven-year-old Lizzie is a curious and charismatic kid who's recently moved to Florida with her single mom. Accompanied by a ragtag group of friends, Lizzie embarks on an adventure to free some monkeys from an unfortunate roadside zoo situation. Though slow at times, it's a heartwarming story full of unlikely heroes.
