This book will go a long way toward showing any kid faced with wearing a new scoliosis brace what it's like to have scoliosis and what to expect. Told in the first person from a fifth-grade girl's point of view, the book takes you through the entire process from diagnosis to treatment.

My daughter and I are reading this aloud to each other every night, while she wears her new brace. I can see the optimism building on her little face with each paragraph. And, it's making me feel better about the brace and the role it will have in her life for 20 hours a day for the next few years.

This is a calming and well-written book for anyone who is going through this difficult experience. Highly recommended.

My daughter was recently diagnosed with scoliosis and this book has helped her more than anything else to understand what that means. It has also been a huge comfort for her to know that so many other kids have already had to face what she is now going through. She has already read the book twice and refers to it whenever the topic of scoliosis comes up. I highly recommend this book to all parents and children facing a similar diagnosis. Five stars.

This book was given to me as I was getting my scoliosis brace when I was 11 years old. It was perfect! It explained everything to me about what scoliosis is, and why it was important for me to wear my scoliosis brace. It was because of this book that I was compliant and wore the brace the prescribed hours for two years. Due to my compliance I never had to get corrective surgery. I would recommend this to any child or parent of a child who is recently diagnosed with scoliosis.

Did not read it yet but book was in good condition and was received quickly.
