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.
When Marilyn is ready to return to class, she’s nervous about how everyone will react to her now-bald head. But 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.
