5.0 out of 5 stars One last wish, November 1, 2000

By	"asktqa" (U.K) - See all my reviews

This book reveals the mystery behind JWC, the founder of the One last wish foundation. Even though I knew some things about this book already because I read She Died too Young first by mistake, it didn't spoil this book which is my favourite of all of Lurlene McDaniel's books. It was slightly different from her otheras because it was longer, which was good as it gave you more time to get into the story.It follows the story of Jenny and Richard, starting just before Jenny is diagnosed with leukiema. This book has a very sad ending, but you are made to see that their is still hope left in Jenny's legacy of One Last Wish and Jenny House. It has also made me look at the other books in the series in a different way, the letter seems to mean more, for example. I think this is a book that lots of different people could like and I defintely recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring tale of a courageous girl. Must read!, August 27, 1999

By A Customer

Finally,the mysterious JWC revealed! I always wondered who she was,so I was thrilled to get my hands on this book. It was marvelous that Jenny wanted to make a difference in other sick kids' lives. This book also showed how much friendship and love can help people, sick or well. The ending was poignant. However, I wonder what happened to Kimbra.Did she live or die? Despite this little mystery,I still loved this book. Everyone,young and old,should read it. It proves that teens can make great differences in the world. A little warning:don't read Please Don't Die first,or else it'll spoil the ending. Now,buy it from Amazon.com and enjoy!
