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.)
