After years of home-schooling 12-year-old Josh can’t wait to hit middle school. But there he faces countless challenges he never even imagined. First up is how to get his classmates to ignore his disability, and prosthetic leg, and treat him as an equal. ‘I want to make friends because they like me, not because they feel bad for me,’ he says.
It’s not always easy but with the help of his best friends and parents, Josh learns how to navigate everything thrown in his path and to enjoy the highs of high school. Best Foot Forward is based on the inspirational book by Paralympic skier Josh Sundquist.
