First Book in Hope Hospital Trilogy

Set in Hope, Michigan, 13-year-old Cinderella "Cindy" Winters' younger sister, Heidi, suffers a serious fall from a Ferris wheel and is taken to Hope Hospital. While Heidi recovers in the pediatric ward, Cindy gets acquainted with some of the other young patients and even volunteers in an upcoming variety show with two others girls: Tina Wu, a lupus patient at HH, and Veronica Langley, the new girl at Hope Middle School who Cindy is jealous of. Cindy believes Veronica "stole" Cindy's best friend, Trevor Wayne, away from her (a guy Cindy would rather have as a boyfriend), but, as the three girls get to know each other better, Cindy realizes she may have jumped to conclusions about Veronica and finds herself possibly wanting to be friends.Although everything seems to be headed in an upbeat direction, the events in "Get Well Soon, Little Sister" suddenly turn tragic when one of the younger cancer patients unexpectedly dies, causing Cindy to struggle with her own memories of death and loss when her mother had died of throat cancer four years ago. This is a realistic and touching book, and most girls age 8 to 12 who are interested in hospital settings will really enjoy this series.

Great Book, by Cherie Bennet!

I am 9 1/2 years old, and just finished readining this book for a school book report. I really enjoyed it, and almost cried at the end. It was really a good book and I would recommend it to anyone else.
