Description
A precocious seventh grader whose cancer has recently gone into remission assists her "medical detective" uncle while readjusting to life in middle school in this heartwarming and funny middle grade debut novel that's Front Desk meets Roll with It.

Twelve-year-old Deepa is ready to un-pause her life. After spending a year in the hospital, she's itching for things to go back to the way they were before she got sick.

Only everything's changed. Her parents treat her like she's made of glass, there's a mean girl out to get her, and her best friend Renée forgot to mention she has a whole new life now.

But when her Uncle Jai, a genius doctor that patients love to hate and the "Sherlock Holmes" of medical mysteries, needs her help with a tricky case involving a teenage patient, Deepa steps up to the plate--because she knows better than anyone what it's like to be sick.

But why, oh why, did her first patient have to be her bully's older brother?

As the case spirals and her illness flares up, Deepa quickly learns that if she wants to save her patient, she'll have to diagnose what's going on inside herself first.
