What Happened to Lani Garver

What Happened to Lani Garver is a story that emphasizes the theme of non-conformity. By being yourself you can develop the strength to overcome obstacles. The main character Claire has just overcome cancer and with a new outlook on life, doesn’t have the same feelings about the things her and her friends use to do. She starts to hide characteristics and interests she’s developed (like playing the guitar) from her friends. She only shares them with Lani Garver and with his help by the end of the novel she’s not afraid to be herself or be a social outcast.

Why do you think Claire’s friends were so upset with her for being friends with Lani?
