Summary: The Time Capsule
Review: I am a big fan of LM's books, and this one was great as well. The plot line was the usual, a teen with so much going for him gets lukemia, loses his girlfreind, etc. But this book was unique because it was about twins. Alexis feels guilty that Adam is sick while she's heathly, she doesn't know how she'll deal with losing him because they are so close. One thing I thought was weird, though, was that there was no mention of a bone marrow transplant. In most of LM's lukemia books, the subject of a bone marrow transplant is almost always brought up, and it is always said that transplants work best between identical twins. So since Alexas and Adam were identical twins, I felt sure that she would at least be tested for the transplant. But it was never even mentioned. I found that really odd. But still, it was a really good book, and a must for LM fans.

Summary: Terrific Book
Review: I could not stop reading this book. I just could not put the book down. I have a brother and it tugged on my heart strings. It begins by providing background on the main characters. The story slowly adds more detail as it proceeds.
Like all McDaniel books, it quickly turns sad and the rest you will have to find out for yourself.

Summary: The Time Capsule
Review: In Miami, Florida seventeen-year-old twins Alexis and Adam are entering their final year of high school and are invited to a first-grade reunion. When they were six, they wrote down what they wanted to do when they grew up and put it in their teacher's time capsule. Now, they're dumbfounded to read what they wrote: Alexis wanted to help people and Adam wanted to be a fireman. However, that dream was shattered when Adam was struck with leukemia and the whole family fell apart.

Adam's leukemia is now in remission, but sadly the twins' parents are so busy working that they don't have much time for them or each other. Alexis can't even persuade them to go on a vacation to Disney World. Unfortunately no one is prepared when Adam gets sick again. Will his health improve, or will he lose his battle? And can Alexis save the family?

This book made me think about all the children in the world who are dealing with life-threatening illnesses. There is a freshman at my school who had leukemia when she was little and she immediately came to mind. If you like reading inspirational stories about young people, read THE TIME CAPSULE to find out what happens to Adam and his family.

Summary: Time Capsule Review
Review: The Time Capsule was by far one of the best books Iv'e ever read. If you don't like to cry while reading books then i definitley dont suggest this book to you. But The Time Capsule was very well written and teaches people not ot take anything for granted and to realize no matter how bad off you are there is always someone that has got it worse than you do.

Summary: Still has it
Review: This book proves that Lurlene still has it. No writer has ever kept my attention as long as she has. In this book she writes about a set of twins, Adam and Alexis, who have a very close relationship. Alex was little when he was diagnosed with leukemia, but when he has a relapse everything in their lives seem to turn up-side-down. I have passed this book from friend to friend already and every one I've given it to has loved it. Think about it.

Summary: Another wonderful book by Lurlene McDaniel!
Review: This is a very touching story of a set of twins, Alexis and Adam Chappel. They have been very close since birth, and when Adam's leukemia relapses, Alexis is devistated. At first Adam doesn't tell his family that the cancer has returned. This book talks about friendship, romance, and the sad truth that sometime or other, we all have to let go.
I loved this book, and I hope you do too!
