Izzy's never been one to complain. Izzy's the nice girl, from a family that believes good manners and a stiff upper lip are key to facing any situation. Even after a car accident leaves her disabled, she's determined not to show how much she's hurting. It takes Rosamunde, a girl who seems to care nothing about good manners, to forcibly disrupt Izzy's life and help her face her changed existence.
From the Back Cover:
"Conveys a keen understanding of the physical practicalities involved in coping with a handicap." -Booklist, starred review
"Voigt has a gift for writing books that are impossible to put down, not because of breathtaking plots but because her characters so involved the reader in their inner lives. This is a penetrating look at some real people. Izzy is a winner." -Kirkus Reviews
