Hi! I'm Maya Bright. Last year was the worst - I lost my leg in an accident. But I'm still me, and I'm not going to let anything - or anybody - stop me from living my best life!

When Maya finds a list she made before losing her leg, she decides she's still going to do everything on it - even though her former bestie has ditched her for the cool kids.

Before she turns 13, she's going to:

Learn how to roller-skate
Stay up all night at a sleepover
Go viral
