Maya’s class is going on a French exchange trip to Paris and she can’t wait to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower, learn how to make macaroons and visit Disneyland. In hopes of becoming a disability influencer, Maya decides to share the trip with her online followers. But things don’t go to plan when Maya is matched with Levi, a grumpy boy who isn’t even on social media. Sightseeing with a prosthetic leg isn’t easy, but Maya doesn’t want her followers to know she’s struggling.
When Maya falls out with her real-life friends over her carefully curated content, can she find the courage to be honest and win them back?
Ella Dove’s life changed forever when a freak accident meant that she had to have her leg amputated. An inspirational speaker, journalist, novelist and amputee, Ella is a natural storyteller with an effortlessly engaging appeal.
