Nine-year-old Danny is terminally ill with leukemia. His wish is to visit the Grand Canyon. Danny’s divorced parents decide to take him there for Christmas. Danny is hoping that this trip will get his parents back together again. It was impossible not to love Danny in this book. He was such a brave little boy and he was always looking on the bright side. The romance in this story with his divorced parents didn’t really interest me and I found a little boring. The best parts of the book were the parts that included Danny, and I enjoyed the cross country road trip in the motor home to the Grand Canyon. A sweet and sad story. ( )
