Review
Rachel Brooks is an average soccer-loving 7th grader in Massachusetts - except for scoliosis that’s causing her to need an intense back-brace therapy for 23 hours per day. In Braced, Alyson Gerber explores how Rachel sets goals for herself to continue to play soccer and navigate friendships and budding romances even despite the clumsy brace.
This book would appeal mostly to 6th and 7th grade readers or to others who like to read about teens overcoming the odds.
Overall Book Score: good
