Enrolling herself into Mortimer Potts Elementary School won't be easy, but Bluebell Skinks has a plan. In just three short weeks, Bluebell will prove to the world that a kid in a wheelchair can cause just as much chaos and a regular doing it, and have a blast doing it. With the help from her new friend, Frederick "French Frye, " and her sister, Bonnie, Bluebell turns the school upside down by orchestrating an energetic student election, a frenzied disability day, and an extraordinary science presentation. Principal Grimble and Nurse Krutsky become caught up in the events with hilarious results, which Bluebell's uniquely talented classmates help her stay one step ahead of Hoops Russell, the school star basketball player who believes Bluebell is faking her disability. After Hoops sets on on a mission to discredit her, what happens next will surprise everyone, especially Bluebell. Join Bluebell Skinks as she becomes the most famous student to ever attend Mortimer Potts Elementary School by using humor, kindness, determination , and a wheelchair. Author Liz Cooper weaves funny and heartwarming tales about smart children with disabilities, while avoiding the typical (and tired) bully vs. disabled victim plotlines. Bluebell is bold and outspoken. She demonstrates good leadership, problem-solving, creativity, and independence. The other students are diverse and multi-talented. Illustrator Maria Santucci captures the humor and essence of the story by adding detailed illustrations throughout the book. "Very entertaining, with an irrepressible, cheerworthy heroine."
