			        		Gr 8 Up&#x2014;Abe Sora loves baseball, wants to be a professor, spends much of his time reading history and literature&#x2014;and is dying of ALS (Lou Gehrig&apos;s disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). No longer able to attend school, as he is now wheelchair bound&#x2014;and the school is not equipped to handle his physical needs&#x2014;Abe spends his days either alone or with his mother and doctors. He joins a chatroom anonymously, never telling anyone of his illness. When his mother, worried about her son&apos;s isolation, insists that he invite his two online friends over for dinner, he agrees but does not inform them his health situation. Despite the initial shock, the three become good friends, giving Abe a chance to have normal teen experiences. As his condition grows worse, he thinks more and more about death. His counselor gives him a book on samurai death poetry, which helps him realize that he wants to die with dignity. Written by a British author and set in Japan, this unique title deals not just with the days leading up to death but with facing it on one&apos;s own terms. This is more a tale of friendship than of romance and one of living life to the fullest for as long as possible. Abe is a strong, introspective teen who reads, thinks deeply, and wants more out of life than pity. VERDICT Not just another &quot;dying teen novel,&quot; this thought-provoking read offers teens a different perspective on living and loving life.&#x2014;Janet Hilbun, University of North Texas

			        		*&quot;Benwell&#x2019;s deeply moving story is visceral...and psychologically acute in its portrayal of a dying teen and his loyal friends. Its shattering ending is sure to engender discussion among readers.&quot; (Booklist, starred review)&quot;Benwell&apos;s gentle treatment of friendship and death with dignity will touch fans of John Green&apos;s The Fault in Our Stars.&quot; (Kirkus)*&quot;This is more a tale of friendship than of romance and one of living life to the fullest for as long as possible...this thought-provoking read offers teens a different perspective on living and loving life.&quot; (School Library Journal, starred review)*&quot;Benwell&#x2019;s story is remarkably unsentimental, and her setting&#x2014;contemporary urban Japan&#x2014;adds a unique appeal...[T]he haiku Sora reads, and writes, are a perfect symbol for his life: brief in length but full of strength and subtlety.&quot; (Horn Book, starred review)*&quot;It&#x2019;s a memorable and haunting story of a boy&#x2019;s determination to seize control of the limited time he has left.&quot; (Publishers Weekly, starred review)*&quot;An exquisite debut YA novel that serves as a guide to living a meaningful life, and the importance of family, friendship and self-knowledge.&quot; (Shelf Awareness, starred review)
