Sort of Forever

Warner, Sally. Sort of Forever. NY: Scholastic Inc., 1999. 136 pages. (Fiction / Loss)

The main characters are seventh graders Nana and Cady. The story takes place in Los Angeles. The problem that Cady and Nana face is that Nana is feisty with Cancer!! As Cady watches her friend change, she’s not sure she knows this new Nana. L Nana is changing because of all the medicine that she is taking. Nana is never in school because she is always tired and too weak, so she doesn’t know what it going on in school with Cady. Until she realizes that it is Nana who needs to be rescued. The girls learned that life is not only a piece of heaven- it is also piece of dirt. The girls had a lot of fights and a lot of great moments. Cady and Nana go through a lot of hard and painful moments but they come to a solution. But is it too late.

So you are wondering is Nana going to die!!!!

I recommend that girls who are having a hard time with their friendship to read this great book. Because it teaches girls lessons about friendship and you should treasure your life and your friends. (Well I guess guys can read this book too.) To be honesty I cried at the end of the book because it’s the end of the book but not only that, something terrible happens. So if you want to know what happened at the end, I guess you should read the book.
