This review is from: Dawn Rochelle, Four Novels: Six Months to Live/ I Want to Live/ So Much to Live For/ No Time to Cry (Mass Market Paperback)

I love the Dawn Rochelle series. In book one, Dawn is a normal thirteen year old girl who finds out she has leukemia. She then goes through estensive care--which includes the horrible treatment of chemotherapy. Dawn battles her horrible disease, but with the help of her room mate, Sandy (who also has cancer). Then, Sandy gets sick again and Dawn doesnt know what to do. Find out from book one. Dawn continues with her life and turns fourteen. She has been in reimssion for almost a year. During the summer, she helps her brother with his marriage and attends a camp. But when she returns, she's not feeling well and find out that her cancer is no longer in remission. Find out in the 2nd series of the 4 books. Dawn is working at a camp for cancer children. She meets other counselors and children that are like her. She meets Marlee, a girl who picks on everyone. Dawn is determined to become friends with her. But when Marlee gets sick, Dawn helps her with every step of the way. Find out what happens with book 3. Dawn is now in highschool with a new crowd of people. She wants to try the new things that she's always wanted--as well as dating. Dawn is excited to find out her childhood crush comes back to the area and attends her school. But she's always afraid that her cancer will come back. Find out what happens to Dawn with this last book of the series. Read this set if you really like Lurlene McDaniel. I enjoyed it very much out of all her books.

i loved this book. normally i read books and i end up putting them down.but this one is exactly the type of book that i love. its breath taking, romantic, the type of book a girl would read and read over and over again. this book sends a message that stays in your head forever and ever! if you go to a library and you find this book, i highly recommend reading it. it is a great book that at any time the oppertunity to read it should never be turnd down.
