Everything, Everything by Nicola YoonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A truly great story by Nicola Yoon. Madeline is sick with "bubble baby syndrome" and cannot leave her house. She's never been to school, let alone outside since she was diagnosed as a baby. Her life is lived in the walls of her house among her books and online tutors. Her mother constantly worries about her health. Maddy is lucky to have nurse Carla care for her and be the one true friend she has ever had until someone moves into the neighborhood. Madeline discovers friendship with Olly, the boy who moves in across the street. Can someone fall in love through a window? Can Olly accept Madeline for who she is? A book that will tug at your heart. Cleaver illustrations (created by Yoon's husband David) help create the vivid pictures for this story.
Recommended for students in high school.
