"A book to race through, heart thudding, cheering Maya's courage - a book to keep forever because it's so subtle, so surprising, so very special." JACQUELINE WILSON
Maya Bright has spent months recovering from a car accident - and the loss of her leg. Now, she's finally going back to school. She can't wait to hang out with her friends again! But to Maya's dismay, her best friend Sophie has ditched her for a group of cool girls . . .When Maya finds a bucket list she made before her accident, she decides she's still going to do everything on it. Some things are easy to tick off, while others - like learning how to roller skate - are more difficult with a prosthetic leg. But the most important thing on the list is throwing an amazing thirteenth birthday party, so Maya can show Sophie what she's missing out on! Uplifting, funny and full of heart, Ella Dove's debut children's book is a celebration of friendship, family and overcoming adversity.Buy now!
