During Brown's adolescence, social worker Katrina Delahunt became aware of his story and began to visit the Brown family regularly, while bringing Christy books and painting materials as he had, beginning years earlier, demonstrated keen interest in the arts and literature and also extremely impressive physical dexterity since, soon after discovering several household books, Christy had learned to both write and draw himself with the only limb over which he had unequivocal control - his left leg. Though urged to commit him to a convalescent hospital, Brown's parents were unswayed and subsequently determined to raise him at home with their other children. After his birth, doctors discovered that he had severe cerebral palsy, a serious neurological disorder which left him almost entirely paralyzed by spasticity in his limbs. Christy Brown was born in the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin in the summer of 1932 to a working-class Irish family. Voor liefhebbers van Eleanor & Park van Rainbow Rowell, Robin Benway en Jennifer E. Summary : 'Vertel me drie dingen' van schrijfster Julie Buxbaum is een prachtig, grappig en ontroerend jeugdboek voor jongeren vanaf 13 jaar. When the line between what is pretend and what is real begins to blur, they're forced to answer the question: Is this fake romance the realest thing in either of their lives? But with Becca still picking up the pieces from when her world was blown apart years ago and Brett just barely holding his together now, they begin to realize they have more in common than they ever could have imagined. Acting like the perfect couple isn’t easy, though, especially when you barely know the other person. It’s the perfect solution: he gets people off his back for not having a meaningful relationship and she can keep up the ruse that she’s got a boyfriend. When he overhears Becca’s lie, Brett decides to step in and be the mystery guy. As captain of the football team and one of the most popular guys in his school, he should have no problem finding someone to date, but he’s always been more focused on his future than who to bring to prom. But when her former best friend teases her for not having had a boyfriend, Becca impulsively pretends she’s been secretly seeing someone. It’s been years since seventeen-year-old Becca Hart believed in true love. Summary : A fun, flirty teen debut from Wattpad phenom Alex Light about a fake relationship and real love.
