"A Canadian Children's Book Centre Our Choice, 2005 Manitoba Young Reads' Choice Award Nominee 2005 Red Maple Book Award nominee 2005" Second of the "Bringing Up Beauty" triology! "Bringing Up Beauty" won the 1996 Silver Birch Children's Choice Award and the 1997 Manitoba Young Reader's Choice Award. In "Bringing Up Beauty," Elizabeth had her heart broken over the lab puppy she raised for - and returned to - a guide dog program. In "A Different Kind of Beauty," she's trying again. But this time, she vows, she won't fall in love. She'll have fun, sure, but she won't surrender to those big soulful eyes and goofy puppy love. Hmmm... is it Beauty II she's resisting, or Scott, the "former" boyfriend who just keeps hanging around?
"Elizabeth Kerr, a freshman, is raising another future guide dog. Kyle, 16, is blind due to diabetes. Although the two attend the same high school, they have never met. Elizabeth struggles with having to give up Beauty, and Kyle struggles with his recent loss of sight. At the same time, they must deal with typical adolescent concerns: unrequited love, family, and friendships. The teens meet as the story draws to a close, and Beauty becomes Kyle's dog."--Amazon.com.
