Middle school is hard enough without feeling like the world already decided who you are.
Christian loves basketball, classic rock, game shows, and spending time with his friends at the park in Oak Grove, Michigan. But living with Cerebral Palsy often makes him feel different... unseen... and unsure of himself. Between missed shots on the basketball court, hurtful comments from a school bully, and the constant pressure to prove himself, Christian begins sixth grade carrying more self-doubt than confidence.
Everything starts to change when the people around him begin showing him something he struggles to see in himself.
With the encouragement of his family, new friendships, unforgettable experiences, and moments that slowly challenge the way he sees his disability, Christian begins a journey that is about much more than basketball or school. It becomes a journey toward finding his voice, discovering his worth, and learning that confidence is not about being perfect... it is about believing you belong.
Filled with heart, friendship, humor, advocacy, and perseverance, The Big Rebound is an uplifting middle grade story about disability, identity, courage, and the power of being truly seen.
Perfect for readers who enjoy emotionally grounded stories about friendship, growth, and overcoming self-doubt.
