Fifty-Four Things Wrong with Gwendolyn Rogers - Paperback

by Caela Carter (Author)

From the critically acclaimed author of the ALA Notable
and Charlotte Huck Honor Book Forever, or a Long, Long Time comes a
moving own-voices story that shines a light on how one girl's learning differences are neither right nor wrong...just perfectly individual. For fans of Alyson
Gerber, Cammie McGovern, and Kathryn Erskine.

No one can figure out what
Gwendolyn Rogers's problem is--not her mom, or her teachers, or any of the many
therapists she's seen. But Gwendolyn knows she doesn't have just one thing
wrong with her: she has fifty-four.

At least, according to a confidential
school report (that she read because she is #16. Sneaky, not to mention #13.
Impulsive). So Gwendolyn needs a plan, because if she doesn't get these
fifty-four things under control, she's not going to be able to go to horse camp
this summer with her half-brother, Tyler.

But Tyler can't help her because there's only one thing
"wrong" with him: ADHD.

And her best friend Hettie can't help her because there's
nothing wrong with Hettie. She's perfect.

So Gwendolyn is hopeless until she remembers the one thing
that helped her mother when her own life was out of control. Or actually, the twelve
things. Can these Twelve Steps that cured her mother somehow cure Gwendolyn
too?
