An introspective and realistic coming-of-age story about rediscovering oneself. Life changes quickly for a middle schooler after an accident forces her to slow down and reevaluate who she is. Thirteen-year-old Kristy Barrett has always attracted attention on the soccer field: As a 4-year-old, people saw her playing and just knew there was something different about her, from her focus to her speed. She was special. This phrase has been repeated her whole life.
