| Summary, etc. |
The night before he turns eight, the boy in this story finds a lump on his neck which reminds him of the gumballs he gets when he goes shopping with his dad. The lump doesn't go away and, after an X-ray and a CT scan, he is diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. The boy describes feeling sick and losing his hair during the three months of chemotherapy and how much he hates it, but also the positive aspects: his oncologist with the endless supply of "knock-knock" jokes, and the nurses who throw him a personalised chemo-graduation party on his last day of treatment. The boy likes to look at the stars through his telescope and reflects on how the constellations include one called Cancer. The story ends with the boy being declared cancer-free and returning to normal life. This is a compact, simple narrative, full of positivity. The text is on the left page and the page on the right has bold combinations of children's painting style illustrations overlaid or interspersed with computer-generated, eye-catching graphics. Colour picturebook with short text. <br/>Audience: Child 6 – 9 years <br/> |
