Description
A hilarious and heartwrenching story about surviving middle school - and an unthinkable diagnosis - while embracing life's weirdness.
Ross Maloy just wants to be a normal seventh grader. He doesn't want to lose his hair, or wear a weird hat, or deal with the disappearing friends who don't know what to say to "the cancer kid". But with his recent diagnosis of a rare eye cancer, blending in is off the table.
Based on Rob Harrell's real life experience, this incredibly personal and poignant novel is an unforgettable, heartbreaking, hilarious, and uplifting story of survival and finding the music, magic, and laughter in life's weirdness.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Heartfelt, humorous, soul-searching plot... This page-turner is not to be missed." (Booklist starred review)
"Amusing black-and-white comics trace his unsavory experiences, capture the ironies of his predicament, and underline his creativity and sense of humor.... This lively novel showcases the author’s understanding of middle school angst amid the protagonist’s experience with a serious illness." Publishers Weekly starred review)
"The author balances this anger element well against the typical middle-grade tropes.... While some of these elements will feel familiar, the novel's emotional climax remains effectively earned.... Not your typical kid-with-cancer book." (Kirkus)
"The story’s beauty lies in how Ross’s life unfolds and opens.... This title is delightfully good and different. Highly recommended." (School Library Journal)
