Wheelchair Warrior cover

The remarkable story of a disabled man's struggle to make a productive life for himself

Melvin Juette has said that becoming paralyzed in a gang-related shooting was 'both the worst and best thing that happened' to him. The incident, he believes, surely spared the then sixteen-year-old African American from prison and/or an early death. It transformed him in other ways, too. This title tells Juette's story.The remarkable story of a disabled man

"Juette’s story follows his evolution from boy to man, from gang member to wheelchair athlete, and it’s a story of determination and inspiration that will touch everyone who reads it."—Booklist
