I have read a few other books by Lorna Schultz Nicholson Bent Not Broken and Fragile Bones are both books that share stories of high school students involved in the 'Best Buddies' program and really highlight how much we can all learn from each other.
Born With is the story of Erika, a girl with Down Syndrome and Gianni, a boy who has been paired up with her at school. Erika and Gianni are great characters, they both love to sing and act and are both auditioning for the play Grease put on at their high school. Both Erika and Gianni have different problems that they must face. While it is challenging for both of them, they learn from each other how to face these problems and move forward.
Once again, Lorna Schultz Nicholson does a great job describing the characters and situations that many people can relate to. I would highly recommend this series of books!
