From School Library Journal
Grade 7-12-- A history and definition of the condition, its causes, detection, treatment, and prevention. Aaseng then presents contrasting case studies of two youngsters growing up with cerebral palsy and profiles individuals who have triumphed over their disabilities. His style is simple without being simplistic; his narrative is informative and upbeat. Even when describing some of the most debilitating aspects, he helps readers to see those with cerebral palsy as people. The design contributes greatly to the book's success; good quality black-and-white photographs feature poses of children that emphasize their personalities rather than their disabilities. A number of well-drafted, anatomical diagrams clarify relevant parts of the text. A short bibliography lists fiction and nonfiction titles, and the addresses of related organizations are provided. Thomas Bergman's Going Places: Children Living with Cerebral Palsy (Gareth Stevens, 1991) and It's Your Turn at Bat (21st Century, 1988) by Barbara Aiello and Jeffrey Shulman are good treatments of the subject of exceptionality for younger readers. An excellent addition to most collections. --Constance A. Mellon, Department of Library & Information Studies, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC
