No Time to Cry

by Lurlene McDaniel

McDaniels has written over 40 novels about people that face life-threatening illnesses. These books are some tradgic, yet very inspirational. McDaniels books have touched the hearts of many teenagers and adults. McDaniels says: "these are the books that challenge you and make you think".

Dawn Rachelle has been through chemotherapy and the death of her best friend. She is now a sophomore and is finding it a little hard to adjust going back to school. Yet, Dawn still fears that her cancer will return.

Dawn: main character

Jake: Dawns' "crush" since fifth grade

Rhonda: Dawns friend

Margaret: Dawns best friend

This book does not give a specific place but during this book they are at

the hospital, Dawns house, the mall, and at her high school.

I chose this book because one of my friends said that this series was really good. So I read the back of the book, and I decided to give it try. It ended up being one of my favorite books.
