My Sister Annie - Softcover

Charlie's life isn't much different from the lives of other boys turning twelve. He wants to pitch a perfect Little League game. He wants to join a gang called the Bombers and wear a leather flight jacket. And he wants to ask Misty to the school dance. What is different about Charlie's life is his thirteen-year-old sister Annie who has Down's syndrome. This thoughtful story with a light touch explores one boy's growing pains and his struggle to accept a sister who is "different."
