Rick and Robin are soulmates,but the tragedy is that they are both fughting leukemia...this book's going to make some people cry so be sure the tissue box is full and close by.

I almost gave this amazing story 5 stars.Only Jean Ferris' talk of God made me lower it...for the reason that I'm not too sure she likes Him.

Robin's virginity issue couldn't have been handled more tastefully.

Invincible Summer follows Rick and Robin's relationship through each of the 4 seasons.

This is a beautiful and gripping story but expect it to end with a question mark.

Invincible Summer by Jean Ferris is a fabulous book for teenagers. The words are not too complex and it is a quick read, but the plot is uplifting and precious. While reading this book I felt emotionally charged, I cried, I laughed, I fell in love, and I suffered.

This novel tells the story of a 17 year old girl diagnosed with Leukemia. When diagnosed, she is confronted with fears she had never known before. But as she struggles through chemo-therapy and the effects, she meets a boy, also with leukemia, who shares her pain. These two teenagers experience true love. They feel together and love together. And although they do have sex (I see a parent disagrees in an earlier review) the author does not include any details unapropriate for the age group and adds it in addition to the love they feel, not as proof of the love they feel. Now, that I've argued my point. I will encourage every reader to get this novel (from a library or amazon.) It is an easy and quick read, but it will touch you and teach you. It's DEFINITELY worth the read!

I just want to say that this is the first book in my life that i actually loved!! it has soo much detail and robin(the main character) is such a strong girl and she is in love with a nicest and carring boy! i loved this book sooo much and the story is soo amazingly good! it makes you feel like your in the story and experiencing those same things! all i gotta say is YOU GOTTA READ THIS BOOK!! thank you!!!!

THE INCINCIBEL SUMMER WAS SO WONDERFUL! I READ IT ALL IN ONE DAY I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH. I REALLY UNDERSTOOD HOW ROBIN FELT WITHOUT HAVING HER EXPERIENCES , THE BOOK WAS SO DETAILED. THE BEST IVE READ IN A REALLY LONG TIME.

I LOVE this book because it shows what people with Leukemia
go through, feeling all alone and that it takes someone else
with Leukemia to comfort them because they understand what
they're going through. This story made me think about how
I act to people with cancer.

This book tells the story of Robin and Rick, and their battles against cancer. In a beautifully simple way, it reveals the pain, the anger, and the fear all those who face a serious illness suffer, with their loved ones. Some of the scenes are absolutely hilarious (Litvark, anyone?) and some are so poignant, they brought me to tears. A sensitive, beautiful life-affirming look at the realities of illness and death. One of the best young adult books I have ever read.

This is a very emotional story, very easy read but also with a deep content. It made me cry, it made me smile, and even though the end is not a happy one it left me with a good taste of mouth and very positive feeling about life

I read this book long ago when I was in middle school. I wanted to read it again and wasn't able to find it anywhere else. Thanks a lot for providing it for me.

I highly recommend Invincible Summer. This book is very well written. It keeps your attention to the point were you cannot put the book down. Robin was speechless when the doctor told her she had leukemia. Dr. Schwartz said, "All indications are that Robin has acute lymphocytic leukemia." I believe girls from the age eleven and older would enjoy this book the most because it is a love story. For example, the book tells about how two people met in a difficult time and despite everything they fell in love. "I will always love you, I wish I can marry you right now," Robin tells Rick. If you like to read love stories, then this is the perfect book for you.

This was definitely an awesome novel. It was one of the best books I have ever read. It was very powerful and very inspiring. I would definitely recomend it to anyone. I laughed, I cried, and I want to read it again! Wonderful, wonderful novel.
