Dumplin' by Julie Murphy

Willow loves Dolly Parton, her best friend Ellen also shares that love as well as for her boyfriend Tim, of course.

Willow is jealous of their love as she wants that for herself, however being 'fat' she feels it's harder. Queue Bo, he works with her and never makes her feel uncomfortable in her skin even if she dates someone else briefly when they call off, Bo is still in her mind constantly.

Her mum suffers with missing her sister after she passed away and thrives off pageant hosting after being a former winner. Dumplin' as she nicknames her daughter is her opposite completely as she is stereotypical in believing that slimmer is prettier and you shouldn't be proud if your bigger.

Willow shows her though as she enters into the pageant running herself to prove she can win it for her aunt and herself.

All about being yourself and not caring what others think in the face of discrimination we see a determined teen that's prepared to try her best. It was fun, sassy and celebrates all sizes and shapes of beauty.

A Step Towards Falling by Cammie McGovern

Emily and Lucas both witnessed something, an attack on another student, Belinda in high school, at a football game where Lucas was playing. Neither got help, Emily believed Lucas would/did.

Mary runs a group for disabled students where Emily and Lucas both have to go and help due to their actions and not helping when they knew a rape attempt was happening and thought of the consequences only on them.

Belinda lives with her depressed mum and her nan. She hasn't been able to leave the house much if at all and instead watches Pride and Prejudice the TV series over and over obsessed with Colin Firth's character so much she believes he talks to her.

As Belinda starts to come back to school, Lucas and Emily want to help her and decide to put on a play as Belinda used to be in plays and loved them. They organize a Pride and Prejudice performance which ultimately brings together Lucas and Emily and Anthony and Belinda as two couples as well as friends.

A book that displays cowardice and strength with friendship meshes between disabled and non disabled individuals. The book shows how we can become strong and better from having people in our lives.
