Rise To The Top
A New Beginning
The Rise To The Top Series, Book 1
By Dune Jones and Isabella Merovech
We can all be a hero in our own way.
Hannah Walters, a 16 soon to be 17 year old African-American girl with Autism, after years of bullying and being picked on, and after the first two years of high school being filled with not many bright moments, is given the chance for a brand-new start at a new school for her junior year. When she realizes she could begin her rise to the top, and become a true leader, like she has always wanted to be, she will try to overcome all of the bullying that she is facing, and she’ll have to become what she has always seen herself to be, while meeting some new friends along the way.
