Mum Got Sick

By Tina Mitchell

Book Overview

Eleven-year-old Lucy happily lives with her parents and her beloved rabbit, Jumper. There is nothing she enjoys more than playing in her paddling pool and watching Jumper hop around the garden. Spoiled with unending love and affection, Lucy wants for nothing-until the day her mother is diagnosed with cancer. When her mum begins her treatments, Lucy's world begins tumbling down around her as she battles feelings of helplessness and struggles to understand the scary diagnosis. Although her Granny does her best to comfort her and provide her with stability, Lucy's rabbit eventually becomes ill with cancer as well-a traumatic event that sends her down a rebellious path to befriend a popular girl at school. Will Lucy find a way to shun the label of being the daughter of a mum with cancer and make good choices or stay on the same dark path to an uncertain future? In this juvenile story, a girl must grapple with a multitude of unfamiliar feelings after her mother is diagnosed with cancer.
