Summary:
Avery Hart lives for the thrill and speed of her dirt bike and the pounding thump of her drum kit. But after shes diagnosed with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a disease that affects her joints, Avery splits her time between endless physical therapy and worrying that her fun and independence are over for good. Sarah Bell is familiar with worry, too. For months, shes been having intense panic attacks. No matter how much she pours her anxiety into making art, she cant seem to get a grip on it, and shes starting to wonder if shell be this way forever. Just as both girls are reaching peak fear about what their futures hold, their present takes a terrifying turn when their school is seemingly attacked by gunmen. Though they later learn it was an active shooter drill, the traumatic experience bonds the girls together in a friendship that will change the way they view their perceived weaknesses--and help them find strength, and more, in each other.--Provided by publisher.
