A Rose for Melinda
by Lurlene McDaniel


A Rose for Melinda is a good, romantic book about a girl named Melinda and a boy named Jesse. Melinda is a ballerina and dreams of being one famous ballerina. Jesse dreams of being a member of the Atlanta Braves Baseball team. Melinda and Jesse have been best friends since 1st grade. In 3rd grade, Jesse has to move to California with his mom. Melinda and Jesse keep in touch by emails and mail and still are best friends. Then one summer something bad happens; Melinda has cancer. Read the book to see what happens. I would recommend this book to all of my girlfriends that are in 6th grade and up. I think this book is a good one, and I think my friends will enjoy it, too. I don't think I relate to the characters that much, but maybe a little to one of Melinda's friends named Bailey. She likes fashion like me.
