(2) YA Readers meet teen athlete Jessica in the hospital, beginning the agonizing recovery from a bus crash in which she lost her leg. Very short chapters narrated in the first person show Jessica's gradual adjustment and healing day by day. Van Draanen delivers an abundance of interesting medical detail and emotional authenticity in this thoroughly researched, accessible, and inspirational novel.
