Annie has chosen to leave school in favour of doing her A levels at a college a train ride away. She's quite excited about this new adventure and the extra layer of independence it represents. No more silly school uniform. No more being followed around by a dedicated teaching assistant. It's going to be great. And nothing is going to get in the way of Annie making the most of it - not even the wheelchair she sometimes has to use, as person with cerebral palsy.
Jenny McLachlan keeps it reasonably light even though she is dealing with some quite difficult topics - disability, first love and peer pressure, being separated from a parent that you love, living in a strange country. But ''Truly, Wildly, Deeply'' is a kind-hearted and relatable that includes a goodly dollop of wisdom wrapped up in a wit that is generously funny rather than cruel. It's a feel-good story, this one. And all the better for it.
[[Red Sky in the Morning by Elizabeth Laird]] also deals with adolescence and disability. And is also a lovely read!We can also recommend [[Fly by Alison Hughes]].
