Purchase options and add-ons

One moment can change a life forever.
Fifteen-year-old Izzy has it all -- a loving family, terrific friends, a place on the cheerleading squad. But her comfortable world crumbles when a date with a senior ends in a car crash and she loses her right leg.
Suddenly nothing is the same. The simplest tasks become enormous challenges. Her friends don't seem to know how to act around her. Her family is supportive, but they don't really want to deal with how much she's hurting.
Then Rosamunde extends a prickly offer of friendship. Rosamunde definitely isn't the kind of girl Izzy would have been friends with in her old life. But Rosamunde may be the only person who can help Izzy face her new one.

    This is a great book for anyone who has recently experienced a crisis in their life.
    Izzy has it all. She's pretty and popular and is in with the "in" crowd. Then she goes on a date with a senior guy who drives her home drunk and smashes into a tree. Izzy has to have one of her legs amputated from the knee down. She has to learn how to cope with her new life and she finds out who her true friends are. Her best friends don't know how to act around her and she doesn't know how to act around them, after all what do they have in common now?
    Izzy becomes friends with the last person she thought she would ever be friends with, Rosamunde, who helps her through the recovery.
    This is a thought provoking book and written so well that you can almost feel Izzy's pain as she undergoes therapy and her emotional struggles as she has to learn how to adjust to her new life.

    Fantastic book everyone should read at least once in their lifetime. I'm having all my kids read it just as my mom did with us.

    'Izzy' is the kind of book that can make a reader out of a middle school student. (see 'Naked Reading') As an adult tutor of a middle school student, 'Izzy Willy-Nilly' was very difficult for me to put down.

    There are great lessons about friendships; about overcoming depression; and about family ties that can be a saving grace. The book may be classified as 'Young Adult,' but grown-ups can enjoy it too!

    I read this book back when I was in high school and loved it then and I still love it now. I was born disabled and there weren't a lot of books out there that deal with disabilities. This one really spoke to me because I really lived it. I highly recommend this book to all high school students, but especially those who are disabled. Izzy relationship with her family was close to my relationship with mine. I to had brothers.

    There isn't much bad to say about this book. I disliked Izzy and loved her at the same time. I loved how she really found herself and discovered what she really was going to do. I adored Rosamunde and enjoyed going through Izzy's inner feelings and emotions.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best book ever written about growing up
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 25, 2017
    This is one of the most intelligent, fascinating and brilliantly written teen books I have ever read. I have a degree in English Literature and studied all the greats - many of whom I loved. But this book? One of the best I've read about growing up. The fact that Izzy loses her leg is intrinsic to the plot but for me, it was the characters and the quality of the writing that was so exceptional. I mean - I never lost a leg but this book makes you think about life in a completely different way. It is relevant to everyone. It's a deep book - I love how cleverly the characters are drawn - years later they've stayed with me. It's a wonderful book.

    This has always been a favourite of mine. My paper back is worn so now I read it on Kindle.
    Cynthia Voigt writes so well about young people growing up.

    Well written book. A bit of a dark story for young adults which led to good discussions.
