This brief novel tells of a girl, Lupe, who becomes paralyzed after an accident and goes to live in a center for people with disabilities. Set in Mexico, the story tackles a fascinating topic but is a little sketchy in its description of characters and settings. Bang's illustrations add appeal, and an afterword discusses the actual center on which the story is based.
