The Evolution of Emily<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kate Scott<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Goodreads<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Emily Charles knows how to run away. Away from her overprotective, agoraphobic mother. Away from her biology-obsessed, autistic sister. Away from her quiet sheltered claustrophobic homeschooled life. When Emily’s escape plan involves starting her junior year at Kennedy High School, she realizes she’s no longer running away. Now she’s running towards. Towards her quiet thoughtful cross-country teammate, August. Towards her zany enthusiastic lab partner, Miles. Towards friendship, love, independence, and life.
\nThanks to her sister’s special interest in biology, Emily knows all about the birds and the bees. Boys are a lot more confusing!<\/p>\n

Disability Portrayed:\u00a0<\/strong>agoraphobia, autism spectrum disorder<\/p>\n

From acclaimed author Sarah Weeks comes\u00a0a touching coming-of-age story about a young girl who goes on a cross-country journey to discover the truth about her parents, which the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0<\/em>called “a remarkable novel.” Perfect for fans of Rebecca Stead’s\u00a0When You Reach Me<\/em>\u00a0and Ali Benjamin’s\u00a0The Thing About Jellyfish<\/em>.

\nFar away from home, pieces of her puzzling history come together. But it isn’t until she learns to accept not knowing that Heidi truly arrives.<\/p>\n
