Even thought I am only fifty pages in the book, one of the themes of the book is already shown. The author is trying to show us that life is unfair. In the story, Hayley tried very hard to join cheer leading and she finally makes the squad. However, she later out found out that she got cancer! After working so hard so join the team, she is infected with cancer. This proves how unfair and sad life is.
