Flint's eyes are terrible - he has a disease that affects his cornea. As a result he has blurry vision, can't participate in sports, and even worse he looks weird. Everyone class him squint. But, he loves to draw and he's hoping to win a comic book contest with his newest story.
McKell is a new girl. She hangs out with some of the popular kids but then, for some strange reason she starts sitting with him. Although Flint later finds out it is part of a challenge there is something to their friendship.
There is also more to the challenges. They have been set by McKell's brother who also suffers from a rare disease. But, on his YouTube channel he encourages people to be kind, try new things, and do the things that he can't.
Can Squint and McKell follow through on some of the challenges facing them?
I liked this - good friendship, good growth even with the "bully" in a realistic way, and a feel good story about challenging yourself.
