Ruth's Party Desi Gillespie

Ruth and her friends are like any other kids - their main instinct is to have fun! So, when Ruth has her eleventh birthday party, everyone's invited. However, this is not just any ordinary group of friends . . . all of them are unique in their own way. Some might call theirs 'Special Needs', but they prefer just special friends . . . The author explores the issues surrounding disability in a sensitive and clear way, enhancing the reader's understanding of those young people who don't see their impairments as a problem, only the way society fails to deal with them.
