(4) 4-6 When Gabe was twelve, she developed a debilitating, degenerative muscle disease called Friedreich's ataxia and was severely bullied in school. Media attention surrounding a fundraiser for surgery for her beloved dog companion, Izzy, led to her becoming an anti-bullying spokesperson. Interspersed with moving letters from students who have heard her speak, the story is interesting but marred by repetition and unpolished prose. Websites.
