(3) 4-6 Dear America series. In 1932, twelve-year-old Bess begins attending Perkins School for the Blind following an accident in which she loses her sight. Her twin sister records Bess's diary entries for her--and writes a few herself, providing readers with an additional point of view to round out the narrative. Denenberg creates a convincing, engaging portrait of Bess's adjustment to her new school and her new life.
