Once you start reading, each chapter keeps you wanting to continue to the next. Paul shares his stories in such a way that you will experience them in a very personal way. It is a very emotionally involving book. The obstacles he encounters and overcomes are inspiring . Mostly ,I enjoyed just sitting down and reading this book. I hope others can experience it. Looking forward to his next one.

Through the literary technique of author surrogate, the reader is submerged into a first-hand account of what it's like to break the abelist mold as a student with cebral palsy facing the public school system.

Lastly, without giving away too much, this book comes to a great closure that warms the soul.

An awesome true story about a young man overcoming hurdles while growing up with cerebral palsy. It is also about how the help of a parent and advocate ensuring that his life's work is treated fairly and just. A great read for parents with children with disabilities and also for someone that might need inspiration when overcoming life altering obstacles!
Have read about half of this book and am quite enjoying it so far. Feel this would make a great movie some day. Written very well. Keeps you coming back. Don't want to put it down. Great writing Mr Nankivell.
