Wink
This middle-grade realistic fiction story was deep. Ross is a 7th grader diganosed with eye cancer. As he navigates the horror of the treatments and the potential side effects, his best friend Abby is by his side. Unfortunately, middle school kids can be hurtful and mean... especially when you are different. His radiologist and another cancer patient add some joy to this story. I loved both Frank and Jerry's roles in helping Ross navigate the process and find some joy. A bit of the language was mature as well as the content, obviously. I may leave this one for a MS collection. (FIC HAR)
