Chapter 36: High School
On p.91, Via shares "I'm always going to be the sister of a kid with a birth defect: that's not the issue. I just don't always want to be defined that way."

Make a prediction about Via and her two best friends, Miranda and Ella. What do you think will happen between the three of them, now that they have entered high school?
