Ann Turner's poetic novel gives us a hard look at what it's like to be a high school boy about to lose his father to pancreatic cancer. Althought this tear-jerker takes a scant hour to read, it is a "hard hitter" for the reader. Realistic characters and emotion will strike a chord with all readers. The National Help Lines at the back of the book will guide students to places to find more information about dealing with grief and cancer.
Four stars.
