Sense I can't find the version I read, I'll review this. This was a very touching story about a girl with polio. I think I would have been much more scared for her if this hadn't been an autobiography, because it is so suspenseful in a terrifying way. Peg Kehret, a girl living in a time that polio frightened everybody, falls down one day, and can't feel her legs. She discovers she has more than one kind of polio, which terrifies her. She is taken to a hospital far away from her family, and throughout the story, she moves from hospital to hospital. This is really sad, but such a good book. I would recommend for ages 9-12.

I think Small Steps:The Year I Got Polio was the best auto-biography I've ever read
