Sickle Cell Anemia (Diseases and People)

I thought this book was quite interesting. It explained Sickle Cell Anemia in an easy to understand manner. Some parts of the book were boring and seemed a little long, but I liked it when the book used stories of real people who live with the disease. All in all, I thought this book was very helpful and informative and I would recomend it to middleschool or highschool students who are doing a report on the topic.
