My daughter is in the 6th grade and loved this book. It is on the schools recommended list.
This is a very good story, but it is sad. Cady and Nana are best friends, but Nana is now dying of cancer. Cady and Nana show amazing courage as Nana progresses in her illness and Cady remains her faithful friend. It's a good story about friendship and death -- which after all, is a part of life. I do recommend it.
