(3) YA After her mother dies from AIDS, thirteen-year-old Emmy is sent to a summer camp for HIV-positive girls like herself. Befriending the other campers helps Emmy feel less alone and allows her to make peace with her dad and his pregnant new wife. Sheinmel doesn't sugarcoat Emmy's grief, anger, or illness, making the hopeful ending all the more satisfying. An author's note is appended.
