Tina | 22 comments Book is about twin sisters who are each dealing with issues. First girl is terminally ill. She is getting all the attention which means second daughter feels alone. She meets new neighbors who teach her about photography and acceptance of what's happening to her sister and herself.

message 5: by Anna (new)

Anna | 207 comments This sounds like A Summer to Die by Lois Lowry; the sisters aren't twins, but Molly, the older one, is suffering from leukaemia. Meg, the younger, meets the owner of the house which her family is renting, and learns about photography from him. Later, she meets a young couple who has moved into the neighbourhood, and is invited to take pictures of their baby being born.

Congrats Tina. I too like Lois Lowry. She did some very good stories.

I'll shelve this and move it down to Solved for you.

Probably because the sisters' names start with the same letter. :)
