Description
Blind sixth-grader Maria Romero is determined to be normal. She navigates her daily life with the help of her white cane and glass eyes, but even that's not without its challenges.
When her classmate JJ Munson enlists her help in a series of public challenges, Maria fears she'll lose her chance to go unnoticed. But when a young girl goes missing on the streets of Marble City, Maria's new-found confidence is put to the test in unexpected ways.
This engaging story explores universal themes about difference and disability, without resorting to saccharine sentimentality. It's a gripping mystery that encourages readers to use their own skills and brains to figure out what happens next.
