Book Reviews (5)
Twelve-year-old Sunny St. James has a new perspective on life after she gets a heart transplant. Now that she's healthier, she sets out to do things she could never do before, which includes making a new best friend and kissing a boy. But as her plans progress and she seems to be moving in the right direction, Sunny's mother comes back into her life, dampening Sunny's happiness. And as she enjoys her new best friend, Quinn, she begins to suspect that she's not interested in kissing boys after all. I loved this book and how it introduced the idea of being lesbian. In fact, it is one of the Lone Star Books. (Texan librarians choose this book because they thought it was awesome.)
This book was sooooo wonderfully written
Sunshine or "Sunny" is undergoing a heart transplant. She's going to die. Atleast, for a few seconds, or a few minutes, maybe even longer. She plans to become the "new sunny" after her heart transplant. After all doesn't that make her a new person? The first time she went to the beach, well, not the first but she hasn't been in a long time. She meets Quinn, who she immediately likes. Then, things in Sunny's life drastically change. Her mother appears again. After what seems like so long. 8 years. She is so mad, confused, excited, nervous, she feels like her heart will burst. Then comes the tangle. He quest to find a boy fails, he mother has another child, she is growing distant from Kate, the "mother" who took care of her, almost all her life. Then comes the mess, but not the mess you normally think about. A beautiful mess. Her.
This book I haven't read yet sound good. I tried finding this book on www.myon.com to read it but could find it. Now I am so wanted to read this book right now. I wish I could know what it is like in Sunny life if she was real.
