Title:  The Time Capsule
Author:  Lurlene McDaniel
Reviewer:  Michelle G. '11

I read the book The Time Capsule by Lurlene McDaniel.

The Time Capsule is about Alexis and Adam, who are 16 years old, twins, and live in southern Florida. Their life isn't exactly perfect. Alexis feels that her family has been falling apart ever since her twin, Adam was diagnosed with Leukemia. Alexis knows it isn't his fault, but her parents are under so much stress and so is she! Adam was in remission, and then something terrible happened, his cancer returned. When going on a trip to Disney world, Adam is acting strange, he is always covering up his body with long sleeves in hot weather, and is getting very pale. Alexis is mortified when she hears that once again, Adams Lukemia has come back. Will he be lucky this time?

This book isn't mainly about Adam, it's about Alexis and her struggle to get her family on a steady track again.

If I had to rate this book from a 1 to a 10 (1 being the worst and 10 the best) I would rate it a 10 because there was never a dull moment. Although it is sad, it has a very happy ending (like most books.)
