Will her friends still want to hang out with her? Can she play soccer? And what about school? How will she manage homework from home and the hospital? Can she please get back to a normal life?

Her strength and courage, and fabulous sense of humor, helps carry her through it all.   From the Note to Readers:  The idea for The Bald-Headed Princess and our heroine Isabel came from my experiences as the mother of a little boy named Christopher who had leukemia. During the four years of his cancer treatments, Chris taught me a lot. I learned about fear, the boredom of the hospital, hope, and the importance of family, not to mention all about the yucky parts of cancer treatment. I learned about incredible bravery and unstoppable humor on the part of my son and all of the young cancer patients that I met....If you are a young cancer patient reading this book, I wish that this story lifts your spirits and brings you hope. If you are reading this book because you know a kid with cancer, don amp rsquo t be afraid to talk and play and laugh or even cry with her. That amp rsquo s what friends are for.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50972407136529,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50972409692433,"sku":"CIN1433807378G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51566213005585,"sku":"CIN1433807378VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1433807378.jpg?v=1757416828"},{"product_id":"christopher-s-journey-book-maribeth-r-ditmars-9780595865697","title":"Christopher's Journey","description":"Moving and uplifting, Christopher's Journey: A Remarkable Young Man's Struggle with Leukemia is a memoir of one family's fight with pediatric leukemia.
