I read this book when I was just getting out of elementary and going into middle ...I can’t tell you how many times I read it ,the book was literally falling apart! I cried every time!!!

This was one of the first books that I read to the very end as a teenager, I cried like a baby at the end! It's also one of the books I remember in the most detail. I especially remember the touching, though slightly cheesy ending.

Looking back it was a little predictable, but fabulous if you a looking for a weepy!

I read this many years ago when I was still in my teens. I remember it as being very touching and it even made me cry.

A great young adult book about people's fears, sickness and death.
