When Emma Sasha Silver loses her eyesight in a nightmare accident, she must relearn everything from walking across the street to recognizing her own sisters to imagining colors. One of seven children, Emma used to be the invisible kid, but now it seems everyone is watching her. And just as she’s about to start high school and try to recover her friendships and former life, one of her classmates is found dead in an apparent suicide. Fifteen and blind, Emma has to untangle what happened and why—in order to see for herself what makes life worth living.Unflinching in its portrayal of Emma’s darkest days, yet full of hope and humor, Rachel DeWoskin’s brilliant Blind is one of those rare books that utterly absorbs the reader into the life and experience of another.

"Okay so this was a good one. However, it was REALLY long to me. I love the background about the accident, but I felt like it took a long time to get to the point where I was REALLY sucked in. I also kept confusing Logan for a boy even though it says she’s a girl. (Lol) however, the plot was really strong and I love how it played out. Someone recommended this book to me to help get me out of my reading slump, but it didn’t really help all that much :/. All around I liked it, even though it was super long!"
