Description
Zoe loves school, and she has great friends, but she thinks her life is boring. She will always need a wheelchair, and her parents will always want to protect her. So how in the world will she ever manage to have a real adventure?
When Zoe learns about the diverse cultures of her friends at school, life begins to shake up. Against a background of celebrating the vibrant holiday traditions of Christmas, Hanukah, Kwanzaa, Divali and Eid she realizes that adventures can arrive in strange packages. But the unpredictable sometimes causes problems, and Zoe needs to take charge for the first time. A story that celebrates diversity, strength, and the ties that bind people who seem different.
