[LM_NET] HIT: novel with a sick grandfather

[Diane Lungaro <dianelu@YAHOO.COM>]

A couple of weeks ago I posted this message:
   
  Hi,

I have a teacher who would is looking for a novel for one of her students. This 
girl is in 5th grade, but an avid reader. Her grandfather has cancer and the 
teacher is looking for an age-appropriate novel that has a sick grandfather as one 
of the characters. I am looking for title suggestions along these lines.

Thanks,
Diane
