Imagine the boundless experiences of disabled kids: A Deaf Southerner who solves local mysteries. A young diabetic plant mage encountering magical mishaps. A girl with epilepsy discovering a hidden world in her grandmother's garden. A chronically fatigued gamer saving the day-and their team-during an epic VR space race.
From juvenile arthritis to asthma and from wheelchairs to neurodiversity, Boundless: 17 Stories Starring Disabled Kids writes disability back into the mainstream narrative of the commercial genres we love, with an inclusive and intersectional lens. Marieke Nijkamp is the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends and Unbroken: 13 Stories Starring Disabled Teens. She is a storyteller, dreamer, globe-trotter, and geek. She currently resides in her home country, the Netherlands.
"Together, the stories candidly portray disability's various facets, including external and internalized ableism, the uncertainty and relief of diagnosis, the power of representation, and above all, resilience... Eclectic, affirming, and triumphant."
Kirkus Reviews
