Before Stinkville, Alice didn't think albinism-or the blindness
that goes with it-was a big deal. Sure, she uses a magnifier to
read books. And a cane keeps her from bruising her hips on tables.
Putting on sunscreen and always wearing a hat are just part of
life. But life has always been like this for Alice. Until
Stinkville. For the first time in her life, Alice feels
different-like she's at a disadvantage. Back in her old
neighborhood in Seattle, everyone knew Alice, and Alice knew her
way around. In Stinkville, Alice finds herself floundering-she
can't even get to the library on her own. But when her parents
start looking into schools for the blind, Alice takes a stand.
She's going to show them-and herself-that blindness is just a part
of who she is, not all that she can be. To prove it, Alice enters
the Stinkville Success Stories essay contest. No one, not even her
new friend Kerica, believes she can scout out her new town's
stories and write the essay by herself. The funny thing is, as
Alice confronts her own blindness, everyone else seems to see her
for the first time. This is a stirring small-town story that
explores many different issues-albinism, blindness, depression,
dyslexia, growing old, and more-with a light touch and lots of
heart. Beth Vrabel's characters are complicated and messy, but they
come together in a story about the strength of community and
friendship. This paperback edition includes a Q&A with the
author and a sneak peek at the upcoming The Blind Guide to Normal.
