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?
