Sure, everyone at school knows about Ezra. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. But I don’t talk about him to anyone but Zoe…I rarely talk about him even to her. She doesn’t ask and I don’t tell. If I were to bare my soul about Ez, I’d worry she might turn against him or think less of me or say something about him I couldn’t forgive. So I stay silent.
Meet Jenny — a teen who confides in her diary about what it is like to live with Ezra, her younger brother with autism, and her life with the most « wacky, exasperating, infuriating, amazing younger brother! »
If living with Ezra weren’t hard enough, Jenny must deal with school bullies, rude classmates, and fragile friendships. But with the promise of a summer writing program and an Ezra-inspired project, Jenny finds the courage to be more than just « Ezra’s sister, protector, defender, and his best and only friend, » and loosens the invisible cord just enough to follow her own dreams. Includes a Note to Readers.
