[LM_NET] BOOK: Side effects by Koss

[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@GMAIL.COM>]

Koss, Amy Goldman. Side effects. Roaring Book Press, 2005 [1-59643-294-2]
Izzy is a normal fifteen-year-old girl until she goes to the doctor
about her swollen glands and discovers she has lymphoma.  This 143
page book is not the usual "kid-gets-cancer" book where the reader
reads to see if she dies or recovers.  That is really insignificant in
this story. This is a personal account of how she, her family and her
friends deal with her treatment and the side effects.  It is all about
the journey, not the ending.  Although short, this book is deals with
a mature topic.
