Jade is excited because there is a new family moving next door to them and it's a girl. Jade realizes that Hannah is in a wheelchair and she is shocked. The girls became good friends and played very well together. Jade's birthday is coming up and she planned on having her party at the water park.

She realizes that Hannah won't be able to do much at the park so she decides to move her party to the zoo. I enjoyed this book because Jade never treated Hannah any different even though she was in the wheelchair.
