Told in the form of online communications, Sun Signs (Orca, $9.95) by Shelley Hrdlitschka follows the struggles of 15-year-old cancer patient Kayleigh Wyse who is unable to attend school while she undergoes chemotherapy and radiation. In order to complete a science project on astrology, she enlists the help of other on-line learners, assuming everyone is as truthful as herself. She slowly realizes the world of the internet is about as unreliable as astrological predictions based on ever-shifting heavens. 1-55143-338-9
