This book discusses how a little
girl is diagnosed with leukemia during the school year and is struggling with
missing classes and losing her hair.
When she comes back she discovers that the whole class shaved they’re
heads for her, even her teacher!
As everyone’s hair began to grow back, it seemed that the teacher’s hair
wasn’t and the students were confused.
Later the class found out that they’re teacher too was sick with cancer
and knew exactly what her student was going through. Two of the girls and the teacher created the Lemonade Club,
where the motto was “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. The teacher grows closer with these two
girls and asks them both to be her flower girls in her wedding when she is
better. This was based on a real
story from the author’s life.
