Maggie Sanders might be blind, but she won't invite anyone to her pity party. Ever since losing her sight six months ago, Maggie's rebellious streak has taken on a life of its own, culminating with an elaborate school prank. Maggie called it genius. The judge called it illegal.
Now Maggie has a probation officer. But she isn't interested in rehabilitation, not when she's still mourning the loss of her professional-soccer dreams, and furious at her so-called friends, who lost interest in her as soon as she could no longer lead the team to victory.
Then Maggie's whole world is turned upside down. Somehow, incredibly, she can see again. But only one person: Ben, a precocious ten-year-old unlike anyone she's ever met.Ben's life isn't easy, but he doesn't see limits, only possibilities. After awhile, Maggie starts to realize that losing her sight doesn't have to mean losing everything she dreamed of. Even if what she's currently dreaming of is Mason Milton, the infuriatingly attractive lead singer of Maggie's new favorite band, who just happens to be Ben's brother.
But when she learns the real reason she can see Ben, Maggie must find the courage to face a once-unimaginable future... before she loses everything she has grown to love.

— I loved the little boy so much but I just couldn't really buy why she (a blind girl) could suddenly see when he's around.
The One Thing is a wonderful story about a blind girl suddenly able to see. But she can see only one person : Ben. A ten year old kid who just rushed into her life.
The book is wonderful, packed with a lot of jokes and very good ones, the story unfolds itself slowly while we truly get attached to the main characters, leaving a deep footprint into the heart. It's a lot comparable to The Fault in Our Stars, and quite as good. This book made me laugh, made me cry, I really liked it. And it was really a giant ray of sunshine to read.
