After I finished the beautiful Reaching for Sun, I realized that I had been holding my breath during much of it. Had the book ended in a different way, I would be writing a very different review. But this book was breath-taking from start to finish. It was heart-breaking, too, but also another -'d word, hope-filled. I had to read this for my ALA class and I am so glad because I don't know if I would have found it otherwise. Then she meets Jordan a guy who his different in his own way. He's younger and a lot smarter than the kids in his grade and he gets picked on because of it. The two become fast friends.
This story is written in verse and it truly, totally beautiful.
