This is a wonderful book. I never liked to read but once i picked up this book i was amazed and couldn't stop reading it. It's a wonderful story about a boy who had AIDS. He fought for what he believed in and is very brave. Ryan White is my hero. R.I.P- Ryan White: April 9,1990.

Although I have not finished this book yet, I am verywell into it. I amnot able to put it down. Ryan White was a remarkable boy and never gave up on what he believed in. I think Ryan should be a role model for people of all ages and will touch the hearts of many for years to come.

When i read this book it was really moving.  it was one of the greatest things i have read.  i recommended it to my school and know they have it on our reading list i and really glad others can read this awe inspiring book.

Ryan White was one of the most moving people I've ever read about. I had to do a project on an amazing person who changed the world for the better but i didnt know who to choose. There was a picture of a normal looking boy in my science book under hemophilia and i just had to do him. My heart connected to Ryan even though i've never met him. He really is my hero.

This story is about a courageous kid who made a difference in world. He was a brave person who was not afraid of speaking out about his illness. And in doing that he won the hearts of millions of people. Including mine.

This story was a great one. I first read it for a school book report about 4-5 years ago. Then about 17 more times. its great i would recommend this story to everyone and anyone.
