I remember the scoliosis tests. I never read this one. Somehow I missed it so I picked it to read for the challenge.

I guess I never really knew when we would be tested for scoliosis and didn't have a chance to freak out (had I known when it was coming, I would have), but when I WAS tested, I thought I would throw up. This book packs a wallop if you are a young girl, that is for sure!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-70469804775557527332010-02-08T06:50:25.788-05:002010-02-08T06:50:25.788-05:00Wow!
