All Bernadette "Bernie" O'Brien, an underachieving, chubby 14-year-old, who is actually blind, wants is an average talk about of pleasure. Instead, her life is over a runaway roller coaster that can only just plummet down. As she starts her freshman season at Desert Vista SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, Bernie yearns to win love from Jason, her sister's football-star partner. Instead, child-like Nick attaches himself to Bernie like acne. Then Bernie's best friend, Leese, dumps her for popular girls during the first week of college. Bernie keeps her brain up and makes friends at the losers' desk - until Jason hits on one of these friends. Bernie's health spirals downward, but she won't accept a medical diagnosis of kidney disease. When Leese falsely accuses a educator of abusing her, Bernie falters between the selection of regaining their a friendly relationship or conserving the teacher's profession. Failed by those she idealizes, despising her own weaknesses, Bernie rejects her friends and family and veers toward unhappiness. A Roller Coaster Down is a luminous, carefully humorous storyline of failing and redemption, of the common search for love and self-respect.
