I
found Reaching for Sun to be a very touching book. The main character
Josie Wyatt is born with cerebral palsy, the condition affects one side of her
body a lot more than the other side. In school she is in a
special education class, which to her is completely embarrassing. For the
most part the only friends Josie has is her mother and her grandmother, until a
strange new boy name Jordan moves into a nearby house. Jordan and Josie end up
having a special friendship that Josie has not had before. I love that the book
was broken into four sections, which are the four seasons ; winter, spring,
summer, and fall as we watch Josie grow into young women. Overall I really
enjoyed reading Reaching for Sun, and would highly recommend this book to be
read as a read aloud for students in fifth grade and up!
