Everyone loves Miss Wichelman’s fifth-grade
class—especially best friends Traci and Marilyn. That’s where they learn
that when life hands you lemons, make lemonade! They are having a great year
until Traci begins to notice some changes in Marilyn. She’s losing weight,
and seems tired all the time. She has leukemia—and a tough road of
chemotherapy ahead. It is not only Traci and Miss Wichelman who stand up for
her, but in a surprising and unexpected turn, the whole fifth-grade class,
who figures out a way to say we’re with you.
In true Polacco fashion, this book turns lemons into lemonade and
celebrates amazing life itself.
