little person and aspiring actress, and Sheldon, an introverted boy with 

a brilliant, inquiring mind. But what happens when Libby realizes she

it be one of the bullies who relentlessly tormented him when he was 

alive? Missing might seem a simple lost and found story, but at its 

heart lies a compelling examination of what it means to feel powerless 

and alone. The unexpected ending is written responsibly and with no 

easy answers. MacPhail writes with page-turning style, making this 

book eminently readable and thoroughly absorbing.

older sister, Kate, can somehow fight the leukemia that has plagued 

her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, 

Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate -- a life and a 

role that she has never challenged...until now. Like most teenagers, 

Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most 

teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister -- and 

so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a 

decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal 

consequences for the sister she loves. My Sister's Keeper examines 

what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it 

morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life, even if 

that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to
