The book I choose to read was I Want to Live. Dawn one of the main characters has cancer and is trying to live an ordinary life but cant because of her cancer. Dawn’s family is a big part of this book. They support her in every choice that she has to make in her life also the nursing staff is a real comfort for dawn when her family is not there. This story takes place in and out of the hospital. Dawn faces the problem of being a kid and the sick kid that no one wants to hang out with or be near. She solves this problem by making friends that she can feel comfortable around but when that happened dawn only got miserable. Sandy her best friend that she had mad had cancer like her too and it took the toll on sandy and she died. This book ends in a very different way sense it’s a series they have you hanging by a thread when you end so you have to get the next book out to read and find out what happens. I would recommend this book because it has a very strong sense of what other kids go through that have cancer and it gives a feeling of shock when you hear that people your own age are dying and you are still living. When I got to the part where dawn was almost about to dye I was almost in tears listening to her brother crying, screaming, and punching the wall trying to get his anger out about the feelings that he had in his chest fir what dawn was going through. Remember all kids are alike even if they do have cancer they still want to be treated the same way as healthy kids. That is what I have learned from reading this series of books.
