Special

By: Goodfellow, Nancy F.

Told from the perspectives of two friends-one with a disability and one without-Special is Wonder for Down syndrome.

Madison has always helped and protected Meg. Why wouldn't she? They're "M&M"-best friends and always together. Meg's Down syndrome never mattered.

Until they start junior high.

Now that they're in seventh grade, and Madison's father has passed away, Madison is feeling insecure and alone. But when she gets the chance to join the popular kids, it's Meg who may get left behind. Both girls are forced to figure out what makes them who they are-and who they really want to be. A story of loss, loyalty, and acceptance, Special is for any child who believes they need to change who they are in order to fit in.
