Awsome

For someone who read this book three times, this book is totally awsome! Although, I must admit that some of the Lurlene McDaniel are a little bit better than Too Soon to Say Good-Bye. But I would totally recommend you buy this book, or at least read it. About: Thirteen-year-old Jill Marino founds out she has leukemia. Suddenly, her life turns around. Jill faces chemotherapy, painful tests, and hair lose. Her sister runs away, and her coaches maks her the alternate on her swimming team. Jill longs for her life to be back to normal.

My favorite book!!!

I loved this book!!! I've read it a zillion times! I also have my own copy. I think this is a good book for readers of 10 - 13 years of age (i'm 12).

Too soon to say good-bye

as a 12 year old I think this book is magnifacent! It has every day things a teen deals with. Also in my opinion if you are a teen that has leukemia I think you will find this book very helpful! Over all This is my favorite book. I think any one who reads it will be pleased with the characteristics of this book

It is a wooooooonderful book!!!!!!!!!!!!

The books takes place in a sleepy town called Oberlin, Ohio during the summer. There is a girl named Jill who has a great life. She is a good swimmer, has lots of friends, and a B average in school. One day that all changes. Jill gets sick and finds out she has leukemia. She is devastated. She hates having chemotherapy and having to take all sorts of pills. Worst of all, her parents now treat her like a fragile child and nobody recognizes Jill as Jill anymore. They recognize her as the girl what has leukemia. Jill sometimes gets so angry that she turns her anger toward her family. It even drives her sister to run away. Jill has to learn to cope with her problem and live with the fact she has leukemia, but will she? I think that this is a great book for anyone. I give it a major 10 in everyway. If you want to find out about what happens to Jill, you should really read this book. I really would suggest this book to anyone.

I loved this book!

I loved this book! It is a great book for anyone who wants a touching, heart-warming, and real life adventure of a girl with leukemia.
