Bluebell Skinks Wheelchair Kid

The Mortimer Potts School SeriesBook 1

Enrolling herself into Mortimer Potts Elementary School without her parents finding out won’t be easy, but Bluebell Skinks and her sister Bonnie have a plan. In just three short weeks, Bluebell will prove to the world that a wheelchair kid can cause just as much chaos as a regular kid, and have a blast doing it. Principal Grimble and Nurse Krutsky are caught up in her outrageous antics as Bluebell’s diverse and talented classmates help her stay one step ahead of Hoops Russell, the school’s star basketball player. He believes that Bluebell is faking her disability. After Hoops sets out on a mission to discredit her, what happens next will surprise everyone, especially Bluebell.
