This book really drives home how hard a disease juvenile diabetes is to live with. I really felt for Stacey in this one. Yes she did things that she knew she shouldn’t but who among us hasn’t? I was grateful that my parents didn’t divorce until their children were grown. I imagine Stacey’s life could have very well been mine. Overall, I think the important […]
8/19 Nostalgia Review Round Up
I actually really did enjoy this Super Special. I think that for the most part the girls acted like most normal teenage girls would with a trip to California.

I know that feeling and it is a great […]
