Historical Fiction. Young Adult Fiction. This witty, sometimes angry coming-of-age story shines a unique light on the world of the handicapped. It's 1970, and 17-year-old Jean, who has cerebral palsy, is spending 10 days at Camp Courage, the "crip camp" where she has her first close encounters with other disabled people. It's an eye-opening experience, which Johnson, wheelchair-bound herself, writes about with an honesty and insight that "norms" can't imitate. Jenna Lamia brings every character alive, employing her wide range of verbal skills to re-create Jean's halting, garbled speech; the sharp, intelligent cynicism of protagonist Sara; and the well-meaning but condescending concern of the counselors.

HTML:Seventeen-year-old Jean has cerebral palsy and gets around in a wheelchair, but she’s always believed she’s just the same as everyone else. She goes to normal school and has normal friends. She’s never really known another disabled person before she arrives at Camp Courage. But there Jean meets Sara, who welcomes her to “Crip Camp” and nicknames her Spazzo. Sara has radical theories about how people fit into society. She’s full of rage and revolution against pitying insults and the lack of respect for people with disabilities.<br /> As Jean joins a community unlike any she has ever imagined, she comes to question her old beliefs and look at the world in a new light. The camp session is only ten days long, but that may be all it takes to change a life forever.<br /> <i>From the Compact Disc edition.</i>. Media Type: Audiobook. Listen Up Award.
