<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When 11-year-old Julie Welsh is diagnosed with juvenile arthritis, she details her struggle with her 89-year-old pen pal in Kansas, Mrs. Kaplan. Julie hates being different, but when her school sponsors a five-mile charity run, Julie's younger brother, Frankie, talks her into entering. Using crutches, Julie's progress in the race is slow, but she learns that sometimes winners finish last.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Oh, BRRRRROTHER!</b> <br> Hi. I'm Julie Welsh. My nine-year-old brother is always cooking up schemes...and <i>I</i> get blamed. Because I'm older. Eleven, to be exact. But Frankie has his good points too, as I told Mrs. Kaplan, my 89-year-ald pen pal, who lives in Kansas. I write Mrs. Kaplan about everything. Even my secrets. She was the first one I told about my juvenile arthritis. Mrs. Kaplan understands everything. She has arthritis too. I was feeling tired and achy all the time, and discouraged. Then Mrs. Kaplan gave me ideas about running for student council, and though I could barely lift my legs, Frankie made me want to compete in a fun run. Just when I thought my life was a permanent time-out, you'll never believe what happened....<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>OH, BRRRRROTHER!<P>Hi. I'm Julie Welsh.
