Pinned | Sharon Flake
4 posts | 1 read
Award-winning author, Sharon G. Flake, presents a powerful novel about a teen boy and girl, each tackling disabilities. Autumn and Adonis have nothing in common and everything in common. Autumn is outgoing and has lots of friends. Adonis is shy and not so eager to connect with people. But even with their differences, the two have one thing in common--they're each dealing with a handicap. For Autumn, who has a learning disability, reading is a painful struggle that makes it hard to focus in class. But as her school’s most aggressive team wrestler, Autumn can take down any problem. Adonis is confined to a wheelchair. He has no legs. He can't walk or dance. But he’s a strong reader who loves books. Even so, Adonis has a secret he knows someone like Autumn can heal. In time, Autumn and Adonis are forced to see that our greatest weaknesses can turn into the assets that forever change us and those we love. Told in alternating voices, Pinned explores issues of self-discovery, friendship, and what it means to be different.

It‘s between Pinned by Sharon G. flake and The Boy on Cinnamon Street by Phoebe Stone for the first romance book I remember. Both are very sweet! @MidnightBookGirl @kimmypete1 #Swoonathon

Mehso-so

This book‘s biggest failing from a disability standpoint was the supercrip trope; Adonis, who was born without legs, is better than everyone at his school at everything. Adonis also experiences off-the-page violence. Autumn, who struggles with math and reading, calls herself disabled even though the reason she struggles is not LD. Another dud from a disability rep perspective. #MastersResearch

I had tentative hopes this book to be good, but I‘m halfway through, and it‘s just a damm mess. The pink ones are tropey rep, and the blue are ableist slurs. Dang it. #MastersResearch
