Synopsis
Mia is always looking for signs. A sign that she should get serious with her soccer-captain boyfriend. A sign that she'll get the grades to make it into an Ivy-league school. One sign she didn't expect to look for was: "Will I survive cancer?" It's an answer her friends would never understand, prompting Mia to keep her illness a secret. The only one who knows is her lifelong best friend, Gyver, who is poised to be so much more. Mia is determined to survive, but when you have so much going your way, there is so much more to lose. From debut author Tiffany Schmidt comes a heart-wrenching and ultimately uplifting story of one girl's search for signs of life in the face of death.

Reviews
Seventeen-year-old Mia Moore believes in signs, and she makes decisions based on her daily horoscope, tarot cards, and even a Magic 8 Ball. Schmidt’s debut hinges on a doozy of a decision: Should Mia tell her friends she has been diagnosed with cancer? When all signs point to no, Mia leads her friends to believe she is in Connecticut visiting her grandparents instead of at the hospital. The one exception is her longtime neighbor, Gyver (as in MacGyver), who is right there with her through her first round of chemotherapy. Mia manages to deflect questions about her shrinking frame and thinning hair, as well as lengthy absences from school—perhaps a little longer than is believable. Eventually readers will wonder why, oh why, can’t her friends puzzle it out? The novel feels overly long, but it heats up midway through as friendships are called into question, parental nerves start to fray, and a love triangle blooms. Girls who gravitate toward problem novels, and enjoy stories of romance and complex female friendships, will stick by Mia’s side. Grades 8-12. --Ann Kelley
