• Books with disabled characters

    Posted by Community Member on March 12, 2020 at 7:00 pm

    Are you a book reader? Have you read any books that contain a character or characters with disabilities? What has been your favorite book with a disabled or chronically ill character?

    I’m definitely a book lover. I’m always on the hunt for a new book series to obsess over. My favorites books featuring a disabled character would have to be The Fault in our Stars and Me before You.

    I read all the time and “The Fault in our Stars” is a good one. Other than that one, there’s “If Not for This” which is a realistic depiction of a woman who develops MS. The rest that come to mind are all science fiction/fantasy. In that group, there are many of the books written by my brother T.A Barron. He often has characters with disabilities, but often with some magical powers as well.

    Pete, I will have to look in to “If Not This” and definitely your brothers books. I happen to be a big fan of science fiction and fantasy novels. Thank you for the recommendations.
