\"\"De<\/em>ar Isaac Newton, You\u2019re Ruining My Life<\/em> is out wherever books are sold! This middle grade novel is about Truth Trendon as she begins junior high having to wear a back brace for scoliosis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Truth\u2019s brace is hard plastic, tight, and uncomfortable. She has to wear a t-shirt under it and bulky clothes over it, making her feel both sweaty and unfashionable. She\u2019s terrified that her classmates are going to find out about it.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s hard keeping it a secret (especially when gym class is involved), and secrets quickly turn into lies. When Truth\u2019s crush entrusts her with a big secret of his own, it leads to even more lying. Add to that a fight with her best friend, a looming school-wide presentation, and mean rumors, and it\u2019s a recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n

“I loved Dear Isaac Newton You\u2019re Ruining My Life  so much. It was a story full of ups and downs. I would definitely recommend this book for kids with scoliosis and parents too. It was very inspiring and I love that she has a friend by her side every step of the way even if that friend changes.”<\/p>\n

-Lily, Leader Curvy Girls Oregon<\/p>\n

“All of the drama and self-centeredness of adolescence are here in this first novel drawn from Hruza\u2019s own experience with scoliosis….Fans of R.J. Palacio\u2019s Wonder<\/i> may enjoy this.”<\/p>\n
