Unable to attend traditional school while battling cancer, Kaleigh conducts her course work online. For a science project, Kaleigh enlists her fellow "distantstudybuddies" to test the validity of horoscopes. Kaleigh discovers as much about online identities as she does about astrology. Although the science assignment format lends itself to too much overt lecturing, the e-mails keep the emotionally effective novel lively.
