Superfoot
eBook
(Janet Gingold Books June 13, 2010)
Adam Clarke hates hospitals. Doctors and pills make him sick. He just wants to play soccer. But since surgical complications after a leg injury left him lopsided, he can’t run. Sometimes he can’t even breathe. His life is in slow motion. His parents think he’s impossible, his sisters think he’s pathetic, his classmates think he’s a joke and his teachers just shake their heads about his deteriorating schoolwork. Even his best friend has given up on him. Then, when his grandparents arrive for a prolonged stay, Adam gets forced into spending some quality time with his grandfather. What he discovers as he learns to put himself in other people’s shoes will change his life.
Superfoot can stimulate family conversations about empathy, middle school, autonomy, tolerance, peer relations, trauma, sibling rivalry, parent-child communication, asthma, allergies, Parkinson’s disease, and medical compliance issues.
