This weeks book of the week goes to: My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult. It was a brilliant book that I never wanted to put down. Here is the blurb of the story to tell you a little bit about it:
Anna is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate - a life and a role that she has never questioned… until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister - and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable… a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for the sister she loves.
This is a very touching book but I highly reccomend it for 11+ years old. I give this book 9/10. I would definitely read it again. Get your own copy from your local book shop now!
Hello again Madaline,
ReplyDeleteI am impressed that you would read such a complex book with such grown up themes. I thought you blurb summed the plot up well.
Well done
