My book doesn't say when it was set, but it seems that it was set in the early 1960's. And its setting is in Ontario, Canada. Sal thought others would think she was different. She's finally coming home from her school for handicapped children, to stay. She has Cerebral palsy, and that means her legs don't work right so she has to use crutches, and her mind can't think as fast. She has to go to a public school, and on the first day she meets someone who could of been her best friend, but makes a mistake and loses her. As Sally struggles through the glares of others, and having no friends. She gets a dog, which helps her to make friends and be okay with who she is.

I definitley recommend this book because it teaches you the lives that some people have to have. And how they have to struggle through it. This book wasn't too hard, and its a pretty quick read. It shows the difficulty of life and what can help you. And how you should be okay with who you are. I liked this book so much I wished there was a second one. However the ending was sort of confusing, but happy. Otherwise in my opinion I definitly recommend this book.
