Others I vaguely recall: Deenie by Judy Blume involved scoliosis, but I don't recall how well it was dealt with. I think it left a slightly sour taste in my mouth because the protagonist was kind of mean about other kids who were different. Also, I remember the kid in her book Then Again, Maybe I Won't going through tests for a digestive disorder, which interested me because you all but NEVER see my kind of condition represented in books.
