Six Months to Live


In Lurlene McDaniel's Six Months To Live Dawn Rochelle is a Young teenage girl at the age of thirteen when she finds out that she has cancer. In the hospital, she had a room mate, of the same age, her name was Sandy Chandler. They did everything together, from counselling to fashion to games and sharing their inner most thoughts. After four months of spending time in the hospital together, Sandy goes into remission. Dawn misses her friend, but two weeks later Dawn goes into remission too. they write letters back and forth to keep up to date. summer comes and they decide that it might be fun to go to "cancer camp" so they can see each other. They go there and find two young guys, Greg and Mike. Greg hooks up with Dawn, and Mike with Sandy. Mike had bone cancer and part of his left leg, just below the knee was amputated, but this didn't keep them from having fun. they pulled pranks, went swimming, did a bunch of stuff that made the two weeks of camp see to fly bye. It was three weeks after camp, that Sandy wrote a letter to Dawn, saying that she was no longer in remission. 5 stars.
What do you think will happen to Sandy? Will she get better? How will Dawn react when she reads the letter? Will this affect their friendship? What about the boys? Will they ever see Dawn and Sandy again?
