Because of its positive but honest approch, this book belongs on every children's and teenage hospital ward. Ten young people who have suffered from the most common teenage cancers - leukaemia, osteosarcoma, lymphoma and brain cancer - tell their stories. Harrowing they sometimes are, but also constructive and optimistic, and these young people have all come through with a great deal to share with others just starting the journey through cancer treatment. Facts are explained in easily understood terms, and the photos and diagrams are wholly appropriate. This should provide real encouragement to children and their families.
