Bluish Author:Virginia Hamilton The kids call her Bluish because leukemia is making her pale. But one girl, Dreenie, finds Bluish fascinating and encourages her friend, Tuli, to reach beyond her fear. One-by-one, the girls begin to construct the steely, unbreakable bonds of friendship in this humourous and hopeful novel.
A short chapter book--would be great for a student who knows a child with leukemia (especially one in the same class at school). As an adult, I enjoyed the storyline too!
