One last wish

This book reveals the mystery behind JWC, the founder of the One last wish foundation. Even though I knew some things about this book already because I read She Died too Young first by mistake, it didn't spoil this book which is my favourite of all of Lurlene McDaniel's books. It was slightly different from her otheras because it was longer, which was good as it gave you more time to get into the story.It follows the story of Jenny and Richard, starting just before Jenny is diagnosed with leukiema. This book has a very sad ending, but you are made to see that their is still hope left in Jenny's legacy of One Last Wish and Jenny House. It has also made me look at the other books in the series in a different way, the letter seems to mean more, for example. I think this is a book that lots of different people could like and I defintely recommend it.

Forever Friend

Everyone who is a fan of Lurlene McDaniels books should definatly get their hands on this one! I have read it a ton of times and I still cry. It tells youi that friends are needed even in worst of times. You won't be able to go through life without someone by your side. I especially liked when Jenny and Richard went back to the cave and she asked him to truly love her! *READ IT*

AWESOME

When I was reading the other One Last Wish books I found myselfwanting to know who JWC was. After reading this book I finallyunderstood. Jenny's parents were killed when she was eight years old. Richard who is four years older than her befriends her but her grandmother (who she now lives with) does not aprove of their friendship. When Jenny becomes sick with leukemia she doesn't want Richard to see her. But during her sickness she finds out what true friendship is and what true love is. Before she dies she decides to leave a legacy behind her to help others going through the same thing she did. This is a heart touching story and I did not put it down till I was done. I recomend this to people of all ages not just young adults/teens. END
