With her new book coming out on April 6th, I’m having Laura E. Thompson on After Hours again talk about how non-fiction events can influence fictional works. In this case, it’s about dealing with epilepsy and how it affects children.
Written under L. E. LaBarge, Freak or Unique: Amity Boppin’s Story touches on how physical complications can make young people feel like outsiders.
Having been diagnosed herself, Laura has a perspective that brings the tale to life.
This is the first book in a coming-of-age series that aims to help those affected with conditions they cannot change. It was re-released recently, and the second book, Hattie Rattal’s Story, is out April 6th.
The Interview will be a bit different this time around as we talk more about overcoming adversity and the goals Laura has with her series of books.
At the end of the day, it’s all about helping young people understand tolerance and acceptance while finding their paths to a full life while dealing with a disability.
To be honest, there should be more books like this to help young readers with their trials and tribulations.
