Award-winning author, Sharon G. Flake, presents a powerful novel
about a teen boy and girl, each tackling disabilities.
Autumn and Adonis have nothing in common and everything in common.
Autumn is outgoing and has lots of friends. Adonis is shy and not
so eager to connect with people. But even with their differences,
the two have one thing in common--they're each dealing with a
handicap. For Autumn, who has a learning disability, reading is a
painful struggle that makes it hard to focus in class. But as her
school's most aggressive team wrestler, Autumn can take down any
problem. Adonis is confined to a wheelchair. He has no legs. He
can't walk or dance. But he's a strong reader who loves books. Even
so, Adonis has a secret he knows someone like Autumn can heal.
In time, Autumn and Adonis are forced to see that our greatest
weaknesses can turn into the assets that forever change us and
those we love.
Told in alternating voices, Takedown explores issues of
self-discovery, friendship, and what it means to be
different.
