A Walk to Remember

Title: A Walk To Remember
Author: Nicholas Sparks
Reviewer: Delaney
A Walk To Remember is about a girl named Jamie and a boy named Landon. Jamie is really unpopular because she does alot of extra credit and all adults like her. She is also really nerdy. But Landon on the other hand is really popular. He is a tough guy and that's why no one dislikes him.
Landon gets in trouble and has to work for the school as a janitor. But he gets out of that by asking that instead of being a janitor he could be in the school play with Jamie, and so he was. Landon asked Jamie to tutor him on his lines and she agreed as long as he promised not to fall in love with her. And so he made that promise no problem.
But as you probably guessed, Landon ends up falling in love with Jamie so he asked her out and she said yes. After spending so much time with her, Landon tells her that he loves her. Jamie started crying and said you can't love me because I have cancer and I am going to die. Landon wants to spend as much time as he can with Jamie before she dies so he asks her to marry him. Will Jamie say yes? Or will she die before she could love Landon? Read A Walk To Remember to find out!
