review 1: I read this book a while ago, but I remember it was a heartwarming novel about a spunky girl on this survival type trip with a few other students around her age. The whole premise of the book was that this girl had a prosthetic leg; however, I loved how she was kind of like "whatever" about it and was still super confident. I enjoyed the characters and the romance within the novel. It kept my interest!
review 2: Rainey was born with only one leg, but she has a prosthesis that lets her be very active. She applies and is accepted into a program hiking and camping across Canada during the summer before her senior year of high school. The small Westex group learns wilderness survival, has adventures with bears, rafting, canoeing, etc. Rainey and the group bond and ... moresupport each other, and Rainey also learns to accept her stepmother, and some of the choices her birth mother made. Long book, but there's lots about family and some romance and adventure thrown in. Very nice read. less
