Because She's My Friend

About the Book

Shy, well-behaved Teri volunteers at the hospital where worldly, out-spoken Valerie is a patient after an accident paralyzes her leg. In spite of their differences, they become friends. Then something strange threatens more than their friendship.

"Because She's My Friend explores the boundaries of friendship and the meaning of courage in a book that's hard to put down." — School Library Journal
