This is the story of Cobe Tinsely, an eighth grader whose gentle heart is often overshadowed by his considerable size. At 280 pounds, Cobe navigates the turbulent waters of middle school while enduring the relentless torment of Carmelo Acosta, the school bully. His world changes unexpectedly with the arrival of Cordelia Washington, a vibrant sixth grader with cerebral palsy who, too, is a target of Carmelo’s cruelty. This seemingly improbable pairing forms the core of “The Love That Saved Cobe,” a novel exploring the unexpected connections that can blossom in the face of adversity. Witness Cobe’s courageous intervention on Cordelia’s behalf, an act that sparks an unlikely friendship that gradually transforms into a tender and deeply meaningful romance. Their shared love of books serves as a refuge, a sanctuary where they can escape the harsh realities of middle school and find solace in each other’s company. Through their burgeoning relationship, we delve into the complexities of peer pressure, bullying, the often awkward yet beautiful journey of first love, and the unwavering support of family. The story is not without its challenges; it delves into the realities of disability without shying away from the obstacles Cordelia faces while celebrating her strength and independence.
