Helpful Score: 3

This was a wonderful read and....I hated it. I don't think I have gotten so teary eyed over a book in a long time. I also laughed out loud a couple of times so I guess it is balanced. This is a very touching story of how a older sibling copes with the illness of a younger brother. It plays through the different emotions one feels when there is a long term illness in the household from a preteen/teen vantage point. I highly recommend this book but believe that it should be issued with a box of tissues and some dark sunglasses in case you have to interact with other people while you are reading it.
