About this listen

That was really why I wanted to go to camp this year instead of sitting at home all summer with my parents. I desperately needed some new friends....

Brynn Evason is, in many ways, just like an ordinary 17-year-old girl - she cares too much about what other people think of her, she's embroiled in major friendship drama, and she can't wait to head off to summer camp.

But in Sara Pyszka's heartwarming coming-of-age drama, Dancing Daisies, listeners learn that Brynn is different in one very important way. Brynn has cerebral palsy, which means she must use a power wheelchair and computer to communicate.

After her relationship with her two best friends is shattered, Brynn is looking forward more than ever to her summer at Camp Lakewood. She soon learns, however, that getting away from home doesn't spare her from all of life's dramas.

While some campers meet her with dismay, Brynn eventually meets friends who can see past her disabilities. One of those friends is Tommy, a boy for whom Brynn immediately falls head over heels.

But as Tommy and Brynn's friendship deepens, a misunderstanding puts the new couple in jeopardy. Can Brynn find a way to clear Tommy's name?

I was lucky to spend some time at camp with Sara (a long time ago, Sara, I doubt you remember) but as a Brit, the experience gave me a great context and visual to set the story.

I loved the rounded character of Brynn and the support of the others, and the message of an individual's earned journey ("I am not inspirational because I get out of bed!"). I loved the portrayal of an "ordinary" young woman, facing additional challenges, finding herself and living the camp experience. I am recommending this book to everyone who is interested in seeing people as the people they are and in not making assumptions (apart form assuming everyone is human). Fabulous Sara. I know the work it will have taken you to write this book and I have just bought the 2nd (hopefully the 2nd of many!!)

Loved it
