Another D for DeeDee

DeeDee's life is full of D's. Missing her dad, who's disappeared. Distracted by her sister's quinceañera and her brother dropping out of high school.

Disappointing her family by struggling in her new school.

Being diagnosed with diabetes. So many D's she worries she'll never fit in, and worse, never find the best friend she's always wanted.

Then she meets River, her new neighbour with cochlear implants and finds they have the same interests.

Art. Dance. Skateboarding. And they both miss their dads. But while DeeDee struggles to adjust to her new circumstances and life with diabetes, River embraces life, even his differences.

River offers to help search for DeeDee's dad and coach her in skateboarding and the two become friends.

River even encourages her to participate in her school's Spring Fling talent show.

Then River transfers to DeeDee's new school.
