Product description

‘My name is Sam. I am eleven years old. I collect stories and fantastic facts. By the time you read this, I will probably be dead.’ Sam is dying of leukaemia. He hasn’t got forever, but he’s going to make every minute count. What he wants are answers to the questions nobody will answer – and a way to live a lifetime in the months that he has left. Winner of the Waterstone’s Children’s Book Prize 2007, this direct and uplifting story from a brand new talent explores life in the face of death.

    So incredibly beautiful. From the very beginning you are stunned by the horrifying circumstances characters of the novel face and feel grateful that you are not experiencing what they are. You will become attached to each and every character, whilst the innocence in which Sam views death will make even the toughest readers cry.

    This is an amazing read for children aged 9+. I enjoyed reading this book because it puts you in the seat of that person and drags you deep into the book and you don’t want to put it down. I would defiantly read it again.

    This is my favie book of all time. It is so so sad and made me tell everyone i know about it. I think you should be around 10 and upwards to relly understand the book.

    This book is great for deep and dramatic people. You can imagine what is happening witjout having to pause and think about it. It’s a bit of a tear-jerker, though (its best to keep a few tissues spare in case!)

    I am half way through this book. It is a really well written book and I am really enjoying it, but it is kind of sad and funny all on one page it is really odd!
