In the first 25 pages of this book, nothing that I thought would happen did! Although the story of a child dealing with cancer is one that has been told before in many different ways, Wink seems to take a different look at is. First of all, we get all the details very near the beginning. We're also right at the start of his treatment, so less like a full retelling, more like moving along with the story at a steady pace. As well as this we're met not with a starry-eyed teenager, but a boy a bit younger who is a bit socially awkward. Luckily not the typical facade of ' I'm a quirky outcast who doesn't like anyone else', but just a genuine person who isn't too confident, this was definitely pleasing to see.
