Love and First Sight by Josh Sundquist
Setting: Kansas Genre: Young Adult Fiction Publisher: Little Brown Books Release Date: January 2017 Born without sight, Will Porter is about to take a major step. He's been in a school for blind children for years, but he's entering a public high school. He's 16 and is well prepared, but his first day kicks off with him accidentally grabbing a fellow student's breast and sitting on another student's lap during lunch. Will's not one to give up. Soon he's making friends. What he never expects is to become enamored with a classmate. Cecily is everything to Will. When he's given the chance to undergo an experimental procedure that might allow him to see for the first time, will he take it? The thought of seeing the world and Cecily for the first time is almost too good to be true. Strengths and Weaknesses One of the strongest aspects of Love and First Sight comes from Will's narrative. He paints a vivid picture of life as a blind person.
