This is a story about resilience and not giving up on people, even when they don't make it easy for you. I pretty much sobbed through the entire book because I had a similar relationship with my grandma, and it kicked me in the feels repeatedly. ( ) Narrated by Jesse Vilinsky. On the day of Emma's beloved Gram's funeral, she notices a white spot on her foot. Soon spots appear and grow on her face and extremities. Emma is diagnosed with vitiligo and shunned by classmates. Her best friend Fina stands by her but Emma feels adrift and alone without Gram. She escapes her pain through her favorite book and by writing a magical story in a hidden notebook. She soon discovers that someone else is writing and adding chapters to her story. I found the ending a tad overwrought as Emma finds self-acceptance.
