Roxie wants to blend in at a new school, which is hard to do when your parents are blind, in this remarkable novel, typeset in a font for low-vision readers, about friendship, misperceptions, and family--plus a dog's view of the world.
Roxie loves her parents, but other people can't seem to see past the fact that they're blind--and they don't really see Roxie, either. To them, she's just "the girl with the blind parents." So when her family moves to a new town and Roxie starts seventh grade at a new school, she's determined to be known for the other parts of who she is: an artist, an animal lover, and the kind of person who bakes cookies for people she cares about for no special reason. But that means keeping her parents' blindness a secret from the kids at school and definitely not telling anyone that she might inherit the eye condition that caused her mother's vision loss--at least until they get to know her.
For a while, Roxie is happier than she's ever been. But when her lies and omissions lead to a visit from Child Protective Services, will Roxie find the courage to be fully honest with her friends, her parents, and herself? This heartfelt depiction of a girl establishing her own identity, with some chapters told from the perspective of her mother's loyal guide dog, is an authentic portrayal of the joys, challenges, and everyday ordinariness of being raised by parents who have a disability.
Note: The novel is typeset in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a font developed by Braille Institute specifically for low-vision readers.
