5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful values are gleaned from this book, May 27, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Mrs. McGillacuddy's Garden Party (Paperback)
What a wonderful story! I highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of age. It's a good, fast-paced book about kids with cancer and is done in a light-hearted, light-handed way. It will appeal to mature kids and teens because it's written from the point of view of an eleven year-old who has leukemia, and it will appeal to adults who are seeking an entry-level piece into the subject of childhood cancer. There's plenty of mischief and humor, as well as some somber moments. Like the quote on the back of the book says, it gave me tears and smiles. For those looking for more information about this book, I found a brief summary of the story on the publisher's website (1stbooks.com).

Mrs. McGillacuddy's Garden Party, April 6, 2002

This review is from: Mrs. McGillacuddy's Garden Party (Paperback)
This is one of those rare, wonderful, young readers books for everyone - both young and old. It deals with an energetic, young girl who has leukemia and her miserable, aristocratic neighbor who doesn't care about anyone. This light and upbeat awareness piece about kids with cancer is a fast read and you walk away learning something about a very difficult subject. An enjoyable book for all to read, Mrs. M will be particularly helpful to families, friends, and relatives of those young people diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.
