YA
Blind-since-birth Will transfers into a mainstream public high school and makes friends, including new crush Cecily. When he undergoes experimental surgery to restore his sight, his adjustment is more challenging than expected--especially when he discovers Cecily hasn't shared an essential fact about her appearance. Although the over-the-top road-trip denouement is contrived, the author has done his homework, resulting in an authentic portrayal of a blind teenager.
