Abby, Tried and True by Donna Gephart


 Abby's best, and only, friend moved away to Israel and she is left behind with no friends.  Her brother Paul, goes off to camp for the summer and when he comes home he tells his moms he doesn't feel well.  As Abby starts 7th grade, she is dealing with no friends at school, a new neighbor (who seems nice) and a brother who is diagnosed with testicular cancer.  As Paul goes through his treatments, she becomes friends with Conrad (the neighbor) and starts to have feelings for him. 

Good book dealing with loss of friendship, diverse family (gay parents), and brother with cancer.
