Last but not least one for the girls!!
Rachel Deering is aspiring to be a great ballerina but her world comes tumbling down as she discovers she has diabetes.
She now has to learn how to manage this disease and find ways in which to cope with being different from all of her friends. She wonders if she will ever be able to dance again if she has a reaction to insulin. There are many challenges and fears which she has to learn to overcome. The reader will be engrossed right from the beginning.The ending will surprise too.
This book is in paperback form, not a very long story but a nice light read. The delicious pink cover with ballet shoes and a rose on it will appeal to young girls.
New themes in each chapter are indicated by a rose. A nice touch.
This is a good size book to slip into a bag to read on a bus or where ever the reader can snatch a moment.
I recommend this book as an excellent introduction to to the world of diabetes as experienced by a young teenage girl.
