Great Read
This was a wonderful book. Emilie has epilepsy, and throughout the book she has to find courage within herself to do every day things. She isn't sure how to relate to her peers, and she doesn't care about leaving her comfort zone. I loved the amount of character development in this book. Emilie's point of view changes as she experiences thing she was previously to afraid to try. The theme of the book, like the title suggests, is hope. It is conveyed really well, and the end will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.
