Side Effects by Amy Goldman Koss

4.0

Very sweet and affirming book about a teen girl suffering from lymphoma; no details are spared as she undergoes chemotherapy and has to deal with all of the crazy and horrible side effects of treatment and just being a person with cancer, period. She's got a wonderful sarcastic sense of humor, which helps her cope, plus drawing skills that keep her from going crazy. Great portraits of her parents and younger brother, and a good best friend who's there for her. A realistic look at surviving childhood cancer.
