This is a touching novel about the relationship between two brothers and how their family dynamics change as the younger brother is diagnosed with leukemia. Told firsthand from the older brother's perspective, this book is honest and raw - much the way children and teens are when coping with cancer. And yet, the realistic portrayal is gently softened by a backdrop of humor and wit. This book will bring a smile to the faces of families coping with cancer.
