Blind by Rachel DeWoskin, 394 pages
Emma was hit in the face with a firecracker and as a result, she
is blind. This story begins about the time that she realizes that being
blind doesn't actually mean that her life is over. However, just because she
has started working toward her future, everything isn't all light and
happiness. Life is still pretty tough, especially when a girl from her
class apparently commits suicide. Working through all of her feelings
about being blind and trying to deal with the trauma of a friend being dead
takes a toll and Emma isn't sure she's up to the challenge. I really
enjoyed this book. It would probably have more girl appeal to teens but
teens who like realistic fiction will probably like it.
