Fifty-Four Things Wrong With Gwendolyn Rogers

From the critically acclaimed author of the ALA Notableand Charlotte Huck Honor Book Forever, or a Long, Long Time comes amoving 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 AlysonGerber, Cammie McGovern, and Kathryn Erskine.

No one can figure out whatGwendolyn Rogers's problem is--not her mom, or her teachers, or any of the manytherapists she's seen. But Gwendolyn knows she doesn't have just one thingwrong with her: she has fifty-four.

At least, according to a confidentialschool 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 thesefifty-four things under control, she's not going to be able to go to horse campthis 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'snothing wrong with Hettie. She's perfect.

So Gwendolyn is hopeless until she remembers the one thingthat helped her mother when her own life was out of control. Or actually, the twelvethings. Can these Twelve Steps that cured her mother somehow cure Gwendolyntoo?
