4 out of 5
This story is
narrated by a 13 year old boy, Steven, during the period of time when his
family discovers that his 4 year old cuter than cute brother, Jeffrey, has leukemia. He tells of his own struggles as
the forgotten sibling and his family's troubles through the difficult time.
Sonnenblink accomplishes this with humor and true to life circumstances. Sonnenblink constructs a well written story
and I appreciated the humor of Steven. The audio telling was professional and
entertaining. While this novel most
likely will not interest adults, it is a great story for children 8 and up. I believe this would be a great book for
siblings of children dealing with cancer. It may just help them know that they
are not alone.
