The Chelsea Gang: Health is Everything

The eight members of the Chelsea gang who've been friends for over a decade have barely recovered from finding out that Taylor had been brutally tortured by her parents for years, before Jackson's mother gets a cancer scare. As the gang helps Jackson and his family handle the devastating news, and as Taylor seeks professional help for her psychological scars, they continue to be bombarded by life's everyday challenges: difficulties in school, being targeted by a mean bully, getting caught smoking, undergoing an invasive physical exam, dealing with sexuality issues, and a host of other health and life issues. Fortunately, life's everyday pleasures help balance out the difficulties, as friendship and love help guide them through their struggles.

Jackson Jameson and the other seven members of the Chelsea gang continue to tackle high school, as well as life's joys and challenges, with humor and integrity. This book looks at a series of common health issues facing people in today's society - breast cancer, common illnesses, pregnancy woes, and other concerns. As the friends in the Chelsea gang come face to face with some illnesses that are particularly grotesque, they unite to lend support to one another and stand united as a team. This book also sees Taylor start to shine and grow in ways they'd never imagined, now that she's free from violence and humiliation. The Chelsea gang members and their families learn and grow and look after each other as they confront a series of crises and hardships, with their friendship and love even stronger in the end.
