Six Months to live by



After i started reading "six months to live" by Lurlene McDaniel. I started liking scary/action books. This book is about a girl named Dawn Rochelle who was a thirteen year old. She one day went to pick up her checkup resoults....and she has caner.She didnt understand how she could have cancer. Dawn imidately went to the hospital. She had a roomate the same age, Sandy Chandler, who also had cancer. They did everything together including fashion advise, counselling, and other activities in the hospital. It was Dawn's fourth month at the hospital when Sandy's test results came back saying she was free to go. Two weeks later Dawn ws free to go too. Dawn and Sandy meet up at a cancer camp in Ohio. They had a blast and they even meet two boys named Greg and Mike. Mike had had a bone cancer and part of his left leg had been cut off. Greg liked Dawn and Mike liked Sandy. It was three weeks after camp when Sandy wrote a letter to Dawn that told her that Sandy had to go back to the hospital.
This is until where i stopped reading. My favorite part of the story was the i also learned new words. For example the word remission was new to me. Now i know that it means that you are free to go. I think that the author Lurlene McDaniel either had a friend like Dawn, or she was like dawn. This book was very emotinal. I think that the author wants us to think to our self, what would had happen if we had cancer, and couldnt be doing fun think, but she proved that poeple with cancer have as much fun as normal people. If i was Dawn i would not know what to do if i was her.
