Description

Maggie Sanders might be blind, but she won't invite anyone to her pity party. Ever since losing her sight six months ago, Maggie's rebellious streak has taken on a life of its own, culminating with an elaborate school prank. Maggie called it genius. The judge called it illegal. After a while, Maggie starts to realise that losing her sight doesn't have to mean losing everything she dreamed of. But when she learns the real reason she can see Ben, Maggie must find the courage to face a once-unimaginable future...before she loses everything she has grown to love.

Reviews

"Maggie's voice is sharp and quick-witted, and Ben's persistent exuberance provides an excellent foil...Funny, sweet, and hopeful."--Kirkus Reviews
"Sometimes lost things are not truly lost, we just have to look for them in new places. The One Thing hits this important note, and the music is beautiful."--Courtney C. Stevens, author of Faking Normal, The Blue-Haired Boy, and The Lies About Truth
