Kasey, a lively and funny twelve-year old stuck in the hospital for a month, writes a series of letters to her friend Nina. She introduces us to her family, the nurses and staff at the hospital, and to Ivy, her IV, who becomes her protector during the long, scary nights at the hospital. 

Kasey’s perspectives on her family, her soccer team, and her elderly hospital neighbors paints a vivid portrait of a trying time in her life.

This is a great read for grades 4-7!
