This book was an easy-to-read book about the struggles of terminal illnesses on people who are sick and their families. This story talks about two friends and their fight to survive and their families that support them. It will pull at your heart and even make you cry. The characters are lovable and you can relate to them, and some will be able to relate to their story. It is a great story, and the best part is this is book 1 of 4. So, I immediately started on book 2 which has proven to be just as good. Great book I would recommend to anyone who loves family, and the medical world.

Read this book in high school. By the end of the book, I needed to keep reading Lurlene McDaniel

Lurlene McDaniel puts the reader into the life of Dawn Rochelle who is suffering from acute lymphocytic leukemia. During Dawn's treatment Dawn makes a friend named Sandy who truly understands exactly what Dawn is going through emotionally and physically. Lurlene does a fantastic job of capturing all the details of what these young girls were going through at the time of treatment and in remission.
3/5 Stars: Personally this will be the first and last book I read of the "Dawn Rochelle" series. The storyline was not intriguing enough to me as a reader to keep me into the book. I honestly almost did not finish this book. As an avid reader now and in my teenage years of Lurlene McDaniel, this book was rather disappointing and very predictable from the beginning.

I read this book in middle school and still remember the story of the two thirteen-year-old girls who fought cancer. The author was able to capture the girl's and their parents' fight against death, all the thoughts and worries that go with it. A nice book that I will certainly remember for even longer.

This was my absolute favorite book as a tween. I adored everything about it and re-read it multiple times. My parents thought I was strange for liking such a sad story line, but I went on to read many more like it. If it gets a tween to read, then it's doing a great job!

This book I would recommend if you liked "The Fault in our Stars", it's kinda like that because it's about a girl that has cancer and meets a boy just like The Fault in our Stars. Dawn, the main character meets a girl that becomes her best friend while beating her cancer. It was sad when Sandy-- the girl she meets in the hospital died when she relapsed again. They went through everything together. Dawn broke down when her only best friend really understood her and she had no one.
