That means strong-willed. My mother calls me that.\n\nI wish I felt the same way.\n\nIf this were a story, I would discover I was a direct descendent of a famous soldier who won countless battles and protected hundreds of people. This resilience running through my veins wouldn’t be damaged by the notes; it would fight off bullies and prevent my parents from yelling at each other.\n\nBut this is not a story. This is real life. My life as ten-year-old Hannah Geller, who is the only girl in fifth grade to have little red bumps on her face, is unable to let the sad thoughts escape her mind, and leaves heads-up pennies wherever she can to spread good luck.\n\nAnd who also finds magic in the most unlikely of places.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1534420622\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1534420622.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Turley, Beth\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43120782016573,"sku":"BVV.1534420622.VG","price":5.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1534420622-0.jpg?v=1776808110","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/if-this-were-a-story","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
