Amazing Edie Eckhart: Big Trip

描述

你好！我叫伊迪．埃克哈特，今年十一歲。我有點與眾不同，因為患有腦性麻痺，所以說話很慢，也經常跌倒。但我從未為此困擾，因為我從未體驗過別的生活方式。

Hello! My name is Edie Eckhart and I’m eleven years old. I’m a little bit different. I have a disability called cerebral palsy, so I talk slowly and fall over a lot. It’s never really bothered me because I’ve never known anything else.

Edie Eckhart is getting used to life at secondary school. It’s going well so far – she’s found a brand new friendship group and has the best form tutor EVER.

But then the school organises a camping trip…. complete with muddy walks and team games. It is a DISASTER. The only fun bit is sitting by the fire and telling stories.

On top of that Edie is trying to figure out where she fits in: do you have to define all friendships? And can you be a writer AND a performer, or do you have to choose between the two?
