(4) YA When teenage paraplegic Courtney's elderly nursing home roommate has her read aloud from a 1910 Baedeker guide to Italy, Courtney moves beyond adolescent moping to find solace in their imaginary travels. The story of Courtney's emotional recovery, told as a play-script consisting only of dialogue and directions for pauses and intonations, is implausible and static but thematically compelling.
