This poignant novel about a boy’s friendship with a burn victim is perfect for fans of R. J. Palacio’s Wonder

From the moment Jessica arrives, life is never quite the same for Tom and his seventh-grade classmates. They learn that Jessica has been in a fire and was badly burned, and will be attending St. Catherine’s will receiving medical treatments. Despite her appearance and the fear she evokes in him and most of the class, Tom slowly develops a tentative friendship with Jessica that changes his life.

This quietly powerful novel demonstrates that a small gesture can make a huge impact in someone’s life.
