This story of ILLC, a nursing home for disabled kids and teens, as told by its residents and staff is bleakly honest about the greed, abuse, and other systemic problems that plague the institutions that house the most vulnerable. Vivid characters put a human face on this story and temper its bleakness with the hope of people who really care. The full cast audiobook performance makes this powerful story even more affecting. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

One for All: A Novel | Lillie Lainoff

I remember when the author was doing a ton of PR for this and now there's nothing. It totally needs to be yelled about some more bc it was really good!! A story of the musketeers after the OG Ms have "retired". Tania is the daughter of a musketeer and has longed to be the heroine of her father's stories. The problem? Her mother's worry and her poor health. A story with #disability rep, sisterhood, ⚔️ fights, challenging ourselves, and self-love

Lilah feels stuck in the middle - not deaf enough to identify as deaf, but not hearing enough to meet the expectations of the hearing world. She takes a job as a counselor at a summer camp for the deaf and blind in hopes of becoming fluent in ASL. There she learns many lessons, both about life and her deaf identity. This is a really good look into deaf culture.

I acquired zero physical books in February. Zero. Zilch. Nada. I think this is an accomplishment! (I‘m looking toward a move, no idea when it will happen, and am trying not to acquire more stuff to move.) My mother is unimpressed. (“Good for you.” she says.) I‘m very impressed! I know you all will understand!

LeahBergen Wow! 👏👏 4w

I really liked this book. We all have health issues- some more than others, but I really could relate and identify with most of the book. I would give it alllll the stars because it is so well illustrated and the story is well told. There are a few parts where she is extremely depressed and really unsure about life itself and how much she is going to have left. (TW) Overall I have been through a lot of the same stuff, it brought back memories 👇🏽

Mimi28 I was tested for the same thing but her case was much more severe. Aaannndddd…they go through your nose for some brain biopsies? That‘s terrifying and relieving at the same time. I could identify with the countless blood draws and scans and weird symptoms. 4w
Mimi28 Overall it turned out pretty good for her though. I‘m glad she had the courage to share her story. It‘s very important and helpful to some. 😉🩷🫶🏽 4w

The artwork in this was stunning. 😍

Such a cute middle grade graphic novel about the power of media, staying truthful, and friendships.

This got me out of my reading slump and then I turned back to the beginning and read it again. Detailed expressive panels and a story about a queer disabled teen attending her first comic convention with her supportive, geeky mom. I loved it all! I get the sense this was published first in Australia and just came out in the US? It was on display at my indie bookstore as having won an ALA award (Stonewall) this year.

willaful Grrr... dashed to my library to find this for my daughter and they have it on order but only in digital. 1mo
