Take a good look by Jacqueline Wilson is about a girl with a visual impairment. Personally I couldn’t stand it as I don’t think it was a realistic portrayal of blindness. I can give it a quick read if you’d like me to review it 🙂
Hello Holly,
If you are interested in reviewing the book, I would be very happy to publish this review as a guest post.

Another book of interest is ‘Whisper’ by Chrissie Keighery.
These books must have a lesson of courage and attitude to fight against the devil of disability lying inside our head.
