I think this would be a pretty good book for teens to read. It's not too complex or heavy.

I had just finished reading "stopping Scoliosis" when I read this one. It seems to have taken ( with sources) a bit of the information from that one. Some of the anecdotes were directly quoted.

Here is the double edge sword of this book. Most, if not all, of the "stories" ( I'm not sure if they were testimonials or fiction) were about kids/teens not wanting to be braced, how bad it is for body image, how horrible it was if it was genetic and the parents felt guilty over it. It would have been nice to have a balance of stories that weren't "everything is bad, my life is over". I do feel that these do show the many expressions and emotions that most teens will go through with this diagnosis. But that's not the whole truth.
