Eleanor Burnley has never been as fond of reading as everyone believes she should be. She's more concerned with having fun with her friends and avoiding her mother's constant scrutiny. But when she meets Gilbert Brooks, a mysterious, intelligent boy who also happens to be completely blind, she is thrust into a world of color and imagination she never thought it was possible to find in the pages of a book. Set on the backdrop of New York City's academic scene in the 60's, Light My Sky is a story about a young girl navigating the challenges of friendship, family and love, and finding confidence in herself along the way.
