(3) YA Superstitious Mia has high hopes for the summer before senior year--then she's diagnosed with cancer. To cope, she lies to everyone about her health except her best friend, Gyver. Schmidt successfully intertwines the pressure of handling (and hiding) leukemia with Mia's problematic friendships and romantic relationships. This debut novel is a refreshingly realistic portrayal of teen cancer that resists sentimentalizing.
