Why read it?

1 author picked Izzy, Willy-Nilly as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Izzy is a nice girl. She’s pretty, popular, and smart. But one ride with a drunk driver changes her entire life. With one leg amputated, she must embrace a new life and find new friends who see her as more than a girl with a handicap. I liked Izzy so much, and it was thrilling to see her believably move on with her life. I see disabled young people with different eyes since reading Izzy’s story.

From Faye's list on coming-of-age for almost any age.
