Don't Kill the Birthday Girl by Sandra Beasley

Allergies may not seem like a disability, but when you have a long list of them, they start to feel like it. Don't Kill the Birthday Girl by Sandra Beasley explores Sandra's life growing up with quite a few different allergies.

This book is by turns funny and frightening - Sandra recounts not only her experiences but also the way allergies have come to be viewed in mainstream American culture over the decades. It's a very interesting look at a topic often misunderstood.
