I read this book years ago and then is when I first realized I someday wanted to donate my hair. I never forgot this book or that thought and am proud to say I finally donated my hair this year and hope to do it many more times in my future^_^

I'm glad, there are already so many cancer books. What about the other sicknesses and illnesses? If anyone knows any other books exploring other diseases, let me know:)

This is the only book I've read with a character who has my name (Keely), so it has a special place in my heart.

Sweet book with good message. Very easy read though, I read it in one day (however that is usually how long it takes me)!

Oh my gosh I just loved this story, I feel for Anya so hard and I read this two or three times. The first time I picked it up by chance and read it in a few hours and returned it, about a year late I got the urge to read it again but couldn't remember the title just the author (of course Ms. Margaret) and scoured the shelves until i found it and reread it again, a bit slower this time, enjoying the story of Anya and the humiliation of it all and the discovery of friendship and letting others help you.
You want a heart warming story? Pick. This. Up, NOW

It's amazing the books from your childhood you find on Goodreads when you go searching through your favorite authors. I probably read this in 4th or 5th grade and had completely forgotten about it until I read the description. I'm one of those people that is not content to NOT know every book I've ever read. My children/nieces & nephews will have very detailed reading journals/Goodreads accounts.

Interesting to learn about a strange disease and would provide for a good discussion about dealing with hard things.
