The Shape of Wings

By: Gritz, Ona

With C.C.'s search for her bio-dad behind her and her family's secret out, she's ready to connect with the half-sisters she never imagined. She marvels at how much they resemble her and all they have in common, except they're all athletes, which has her wondering what she'd be good at and who she'd be if she didn't have cerebral palsy. Meanwhile, she's been feeling like a fifth wheel in her friend group, the single one out. Then one day C.C. meets Jasmine who walks with a limp similar to her own and understands her in ways she's never experienced before. Discovering that Jasmine and her disabled friends play volleyball gets C.C. excited by the idea that she could learn to play too. She grows close to the group, including Lucas, who moves through the world like his blindness is a gift. When their friendship turns romantic, C.C. is thrilled. That is, until her best friend's able-bodied cousin shows an interest in her too, and she finds herself caught between worlds.
