Fans of John Green, Sara Barnard and Adam Silvera will love this contemporary YA that is packed with humour and heart. A high school student with spinal muscular atrophy is determined to reinvent himself. When new-boy Harris meets cute-girl-in-his-class Nory, he is determined to prove he is more than just the kid in the powered wheelchair. Luckily, he has a secret weapon. His new nurse Miranda. Beautiful and confident, Miranda sees Harris for who he really is - funny, smart and totally worthy of Nory' s affections. It seems everything is working out for Harris for once. But Miranda has her own demons, and Harris starts to wonder if she has his best interests at heart.
Chaz Hayden is a debut author who, like his main character, was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy as an infant and spent his childhood in and out of hospitals. The First Thing About You,he says, is "not just about disability but about friendship and love and all the things that a young person hopes to experience". Through his writing and his YouTube channel, he speaks with abundant positivity and encourages people to "Be different. Leave a trail. " Chaz Hayden grew up in New Jersey and now lives in Pennsylvania with his parents and his English Bulldog, Lovey. Follow him on Instagram and Twitter: @TheChazHayden.
