Pimentel, Annette Bay,<br/>[2020]<br/>Diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth, Jennifer Keelan grew up battling - and overcoming - the limitations others set for her. From a lack of cutaway curbs and bus lifts to being denied enrollment at her neighborhood school, Jennifer was continually blocked from living the life she wanted.

The image of Jennifer crawling up the steps of Capitol Hill went viral and helped pressure Congress into passing the Americans with Disabilities Act. A powerfully illustrated biography of Jennifer's life and a celebration of youth activism, this book will teach all children that they have the power to make a difference. --<br/>Book<br/>

After months in the hospital, doctors told her she'd never ride again. Lis tried anyway. How do you stay on a horse without using your legs? How do you give the subtle cues needed in dressage with limited mobility? With hard work-and an unlikely horse named Jubilee. After years of training together and creating a new way of communicating, Lis and Jubilee danced into the competition ring, and eventually all the way to the Olympics. Lis Hartel became the first woman with a disability to compete in the Olympics, and the first woman to stand beside men on the Olympic winner's podium for equestrian sports"--<br/>Book<br/>

Janine Leffler, one of the millions of kids who attended school as a result of these laws, tells the true story of this landmark case"--<br/>Book<br/>

When she moves to a dark, gloomy manor to live with her uncle, she has no interest in exploring her new home -- until she learns that there is a secret, locked garden somewhere on the grounds.

Burnett, Frances Hodgson,<br/>2022.<br/>First Aladdin paperback edition.<br/>Twelve-year-old Marco Loristan has spent his life moving from place to place with his father, Stefan, always hiding their heritage. Their home country of Samavia has been in turmoil ever since the king was overthrown five hundred years ago, and now its people are forced to fight in the armies of warring factions. But legend has it that the heir of the true king escaped, and his descendant is waiting until the time is right to reclaim the throne and restore peace to the country. While living in London, Marco learns of a secret his father has been hiding: Stefan knows the identity of the lost prince and that he'll reveal himself soon. But they have to spread the word to the prince's supporters. And to do that, they'll need a messenger who can escape the notice of the current ruler's spies--someone like a young boy. With the help of an orphan he befriends in London, Marco is tasked with traveling across Europe to share the news, preparing the way for the lost prince to return.<br/>Book<br/>

Mazeika, Katie,<br/>[2022]<br/>First edition.<br/>"Meet "The Original Mermaid," Annette Kellerman! All her life, Annette wanted one thing: to feel free. As a girl she found freedom in the water, where she could swim without the leg braces she needed on land. As she grew up, Annette swam in Australia andEngland and America and beyond, performing synchronized swimming-which she invented!-and competing in swim races and diving exhibitions. But always she was bogged down by her heavy swim clothes. Clothes that only women had to wear, not men. So Annette designed her own swim costume. And then, she fought for the right to wear it-and for the right for all women to feel free"--<br/>Book<br/>

Draper, Sharon M.<br/>[2010]<br/>1st ed.<br/>"Eleven-year-old Melody has a photographic memory. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording. Always. And there's no delete button. She's the smartest kid in her whole school--but no one knows it. Most people--her teachers and doctors included--don't think she's capable of learning, and up until recently her school days consisted of listening to the same preschool-level alphabet lessons again and again and again. If only she could speak up, if only she could tell people what she thinks and knows ... but she can't, because Melody can't talk. She can't walk. She can't write." "Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind--that is, until she discovers something that will allow her to speak for the first time ever. At last Melody has a voice ... but not everyone around her is ready to hear it."--Jacket.<br/>Regular print<br/>

Solomon, Andrew,<br/>[2017]<br/>The Young Adult edition.<br/>The old adage says that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, meaning that children usually resemble their parents. But what happens when the apples fall somewhere else -- sometimes a couple of orchards away, sometimes on the other side of the world? In this young adult edition, Andrew Solomon profiles how families accommodate children who have a variety of differences: families of people who are deaf, who are dwarfs, who have Down syndrome, who have autism, who have schizophrenia, who have multiple severe disabilities, who are prodigies, who commit crimes, and more.<br/>Book<br/>

She has been in a wheelchair all her life and is just fine getting around without help, but it seems that since her mother was killed in an accident everyone (father, grandparents, teachers, and classmates) have started treating her differently: urging caution and trying to "help."
