WHERE YOU SEE YOURSELF

Ali Stroker delivers a personable performance in this coming-of-age story. At college Effie explores her independence and pushes against the boundaries of her comfort zone. She uses a wheelchair and has been viewed as someone with limitations since high school. But at an accessible college, she pursues her dreams and can be seen as herself. Stroker's flexible performance reflects the numerous themes and issues present throughout the story. What's unique about her performance is her realistic character development. Stroker gives Effie a strong, independent voice in the beginning chapters and pushes the character to grow even stronger as she faces new challenges. This is a compelling audiobook, especially for listeners who are passionate about accessibility. G.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2023]
