* Ways to Live Forever by Sally Nicholls

It's a poignant story, beautifully written, about an 11 year-old boy who is dying from leukimia. Sam loves facts, and he has many questions about many things, from ghosts and airship and what it feels like to kiss a girl, and what happens when you die. But instead of being heartbreaking, this story is uplifting, and funny, and heartwarming. The subject is close to my heart, especially because some of Sam's questions are my own when i was his age. I found it easy to relate to him and therefore to translate his story. It's a book for everyone, for an entire family to read together too.
