Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 7-12-- Four teenagers have been friends for years. As the story opens David and Abbey, both natural leaders, have recently become a romantic couple. The other two, Robyn and Zoot, remain good friends and the popular quartet remains intact. Suddenly their expanding world is constricted by David's hospitalization for cancer surgery and eventual death. Using Robyn as her narrator, Ure dramatizes successfully the effect of unexpected tragedy on young minds and emotions. The young characters are believable, appealing, and complex; they mature awkwardly as real young people do. The more important adult characters become three-dimensional as Ure's narrator gains insight and understanding. A novel in which the twin themes of friendship and loss are well handled. --Tess McKellen, Packer Collegiate Institute, Brooklyn NONFICTION
