When 13-year-old Dawn Rochelle is diagnosed with leukemia, she's scared. While in the hospital undergoing chemotherapy, Dawn meets Sandy, who also has cancer. Dawn and Sandy battle the disease together, and remain best friends even after they both go into remission and return home. But when Sandy gets sick again, Dawn wonders what the future holds both for Sandy and herself.
If I'd read this 15-20 years ago, I would have absolutely LOVED it! It fits perfectly the type of book I used to read back then, and is sad enough to make me cry without being too sad. I did get certain flashbacks to my own time spent in a hospital, although I'm grateful it was never this serious.
