(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Keith Robinson. Born with underdeveloped legs (which eventually had to be amputated) and a large, disfiguring tumor on his face, Hoge grows up in 1970s Australia, his childhood filled as much with surgeries and hospital stays as it is with loving family and school adventures. Despite candor about Hoge's challenges and triumphs with his disabilities, the memoir reads like an extended inspirational talk.
Reviewer: Anastasia M. Collins
