The one that got me hooked...:
When I was ten, I read this book. Now I'm twenty-one and I haven't missed a Lurlene McDaniel novel since... not to mention the fact that I've scoured the Internet for every out-of-print book she's ever written. This novel hooked me immediately with its touching story and ability to convey the truth about what life is like for some unfortunate individuals. Too many times in our sugar-coated society, teens are unaware of the horrors that exist in life. McDaniel has the innate ability to create the awareness that is so desperately needed by teens while still entertaining the reader as well as not scaring him or her completely. Emotions run rampant in everyone of McDaniel's novels; but this one is a good starting point because it's incredibly gentle in its realities. Many adolescents may not comprehend the fact that 16-year-olds get AIDS; but this novel introduces those facts and leaves the readers hungry for more. And, as we all know, awareness is the best preventative action of all.

Sixteen and Dying:
Anne Wingate is sixteen and dying. She is HIV positive. But she gets the AIDS virus. Anne loves Emily Dicksion. She got a blood transfusion, seven years ago, to save her life, in December 1984. Blood screening was not required, until Janraury 1985. The blood happened to be was tainted. Then Anne became HIV positive, and got AIDS. Then she a letter and a check from the One Last Wish Foundation. She uses the money to go out west, to a ranch, where she falls for boy who lives there, Morgan, who also has a past. When she leaves all-of-suddenly, he follows her home. Then he helps takes care of her until she dies. She dies right after Christmas. Her present was a first-edition book of Emily Dickson. This is a wonderful book, that I had to rebuy many times, because the pages had my tears all over them.

One of Lurlene's best:
