Vegas,
It does sound like a timely and interesting book. I will try to get it. Is
Chanda's Secrets by Allan Stratton on the NLS list for Talking Books?

  Hi,
I just wanted to tell you about a great book I read last week: 
Chanda's Secrets by Allan Stratton.  The 16-year-old protagonist, 
Chanda, lives in Africa during these times, though it's 
interesting how even though they had stuff like e-mail, it's 
still a very primitive area.  The other interesting thing I found 
about Africa during this time is that everybody always had to 
pretend as if everything was good, because of neighborhood 
gossip.  Anyway, Chanda deals with the crises of her mother, 
stepfather and sister getting AIDS.  Although the subject matter 
was depressing (and there were some very sad parts), I still felt 
the book was very well-written and I would TOTALLY recommend it.
Have any of you read it?
Vejas
