520    "I ask myself: how am I living still? And how I ask it 
       depends on the day. All her life, Emily has felt different
       from other kids. Between therapist visits, sudden 
       uncontrollable bursts of anger, and unexplained episodes 
       of dizziness and loss of coordination, things have always 
       felt not right. For years, her only escape was through the
       stories she'd craft about herself and the world around 
       her. But it isn't until a near-fatal accident when she's 
       twelve years old that Emily and her family discover the 
       truth: a grapefruit sized benign brain tumor at the base 
       of her skull. In turns candid, angry, and beautiful, Emily
       Wing Smith's captivating memoir chronicles her struggles 
       with both mental and physical disabilities during her 
       childhood, the devastating accident that may have saved 
       her life, and the means by which she coped with it all: 
       writing. "This incredible journey from an awkward 
       childhood struggle through a brain tumor and near-fatal 
       accident to published writer is heart-wrenching and 
       inspiring. A must-read, especially for anyone who has ever
       felt like an outsider."--James Dashner, #1 bestselling 
       author of the The Maze Runner series"--|cProvided by
