Dessert First
Dessert First | Dean Gloster
16 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
Upbeat--that's Kat, the girl in the family who everyone turns to when things get difficult. Especially now, when her beloved younger brother Beep is in his second leukemia relapse, and a bone marrow transplant from Kat may be his only chance. But Kat's worried that she and her bone marrow may not be up to the job: She can't even complete homework, and she's facing other rejection--lost friendships, a lost spot on the soccer team, and lots of heartache from her crush on her former best friend, Evan. Kat doesn't know if her bone marrow will save Beep, or whether she can save herself, let alone keep her promise to Beep that she'll enjoy life and always eat dessert first. Dessert First is a funny, moving story about coping, appreciating sweetness, and learning to forgive.

“If my cells don't work and Beep dies. Because I will really need you. And I might not be my friend anymore.“

I would most definitely have this book in my classroom because it covers some very heavy topics in a realistic way.

Kat, the girl in the family who everyone turns to when things get difficult. Especially now, when her beloved younger brother Beep is in his second leukemia relapse, and a bone marrow transplant from Kat may be his only chance. She's worried that she may not be up to the job: She can't finish homework, not being on the soccer team, and lots of heartaches from a longing crush on her old best friend.

Want a quick, yummy dessert thats less than $5? Here's the recipe for my graham cracker pudding!?

Whip 1pt heavy whipping cream & add 1 bottle chocolate syrup. Smear some on the bottom of a tray as a way to hold graham crackers up. Stack the crackers horizontally with whipped cream in the middle. When finished, "frost" it with the rest of the whipped cream. Cover & let sit in the fridge over night. The result is this delicious, mousse-like cake.

Lucas.Rencher @Rachel.Rencher it's so good! 🍴😍 7y

Eating dessert for breakfast today. Our city's local treat - the Persian and some strong espresso coffee.

Andrea4 What exactly is "the Persian"? 7y
Clwojick @Andrea4 something similar to a cinnamon bun with fresh icing made of raspberries or strawberries. They're sooo delicious 🤗 7y

I couldn't finish this book. It did not keep my interest. The main character was a little annoying.
