Having moved from school to school, because of her dad's work, Ally struggles not just socially but also with her grades. Ally's school problems are deeper that she knows, but thanks to her substitute teacher Mr. Daniel, Ally is on her way to doing better in school. After seven years of deflecting from her real problem, Ally begins to understand her condition and now will do better.  Read to see how Ally's school experience is changing thanks to those around her.
