Firegirl by Tony Abbot
This novel may be brief, but it leaves a big impact.-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Tom's a normal seventh-grader, negotiating a slightly prickly stage in his long friendship with Jeff.The arrival of new girl Jessica Feeney, however, changes everything; Jessica, who is attending a local hospital for treatment, has been badly burned by a fire, and her terrible disfigurement shocks the class into confusion. This isn't the usual book about adjustment to difference; instead, Abbott brilliantly explores the kids' struggle to manage the intrusion of abnormality in their lives.this is a thoughtful exploration of a brief interlude's lasting impact.
