Linnea's Face In the beginning, an alcoholic child runs away from the orphanage after her parents die in a plane crash. Things seem to be looking up when she befriends a camel. But when her new friend gets rabies and has to be shot, she learns a valuable lesson about AIDS and that nothing is so bad that it can't get worse.
"Nothing is so bad that it can't get worse" should be the Newbery motto, I think.
Heartbreaking!
