How To Roller-Skate with One Leg - a funny, uplifting story about friendship and living your best life

After a car accident meant her leg had to be amputated, Maya Bright has spent months recovering, learning to walk with a prosthetic leg. Now she''s finally going back to school, and determined that she''s going to be Back to Normal. When she finds a bucket list she made before the accident of ''13 things to do before I turn 13'' she bands together with her friends to achieve everything on the list. These range from the small and silly - ''stay up all night at a sleepover'' - to physical challenges that are even more difficult now she''s lost her leg - like ''learn to roller skate''. But the most important thing on the list is ''Have an amazing birthday party''. Maya is determined to be known as ''the girl who had that party'' rather than ''the girl who lost her leg.'' Plus she has to show her ex-best friend, Sophie, who abandoned her after the accident, what she''s missing out on. Funny, flamboyant and full of heart, Maya is determined that her 13th year is going to be her best one yet!
