Sun Signs by: Shelly Hrdlischka
"I have real life friends and online friends, i don't know which ones to believe anymore" ( Shelly Hrdlitschka, Sun Sings, Pg 102.
From reading this book I have learned that the main character Kaleigh is a girl that sits behind the computer all day because she doesn't go to school so this is how she does her school work. Later on in the story she has found out that she has gotten cancer, and she had to get chemo therapy. She talks a lot to her friends online until she finds out they are all liars except for one who becomes her best friend.
As the story progressed when i was reading it when she said she had cancer i thought that she would get really sick and than maybe die or her cancer would go away but, both of my thoughts were not true because when the story ended she still had cancer.
I picked this song because in the movie the girl has cancer, and than in my book the main character has cancer.

This reminds me of ...
Sun Signs
This is about a book that I'm reading called Sun Signs, A quote that I found in the book would be when she said to her friends " No I'm not okay I have cancer." (Sun Signs Pg 143)
The connection that i would make to this quote would be someone i know in the following ways it is a connection because i can remember when my aunt was going threw cancer when i was little, but i didn't really know what was happening. We were always over at her house, or in the hospital when she was there. I can remember asking my mom if my aunt was going to be okay and she tyred to explain to me that she probably wasn't going to get better because she was really sick, because i didn't really know what cancer was at that point and that she probably wasn't going live much longer. So i think that this connects to the books quote because the girl is trying to tell her friends that she probably is going to be getting any better but she didn't just want to tell them she is going to die.

Sun Signs By:Shelley Hrdlitschka
The book I'm reading is call Sun Signs, and its about a girl named Kaleigh and she has is e-mailing people about what to do for her Science project that is coming up. She was asking everyone for ideas and still didn't know what to do so she asked her one best friend and she told her to do it on astrology because she always read magazine's about it and one day she wanted to grow up to be an Astrologer. So once her friend told her that she knew that was the perfect thing, but she just had to email her science teacher to make sure she could do it on the topic. Once her science teacher emailed her back he said it wasn't the best idea but she could do it so she did. Once she started to do it she e-mailed her favorite Astrologer about how she predicts what the sun sign is going to be each month.After reading almost the whole story i think it is a good book although it is a bit hard to follow who is speaking because all the characters are emailing back and forth so if you forget to look at who is sending to and who is receiving it, it can be a bit hard to follow. Also another thing that makes it hard to follow is that if you look at who is sending it and who is receiving it, it only shows there email address not there name so you need to look at the bottom of the page first to see who just sent to message, in less you remember some of the email address.
