(3) YA Through the perspective of fifteen-year-old Leyla, the supportive confidant of an HIV-infected cousin, this crusading British novel explores the wide-ranging difficulties faced by teens living with HIV and AIDS and their loved ones. Interludes of dry humor and likable teen characters prevent the compelling first-person narrative from becoming too much of a public service announcement. Reading list, websites.
