'... he suddenly asked mum if he couldn't be a baby and start all over again. Except this time could he please be made like other kids?' This is a rare self-absorbed moment in this no-nonsense, wryly comic, award-winning novel about the last month of a young muscular dystrophy sufferer's life, as seen through the eyes of his best friend and classmates. Virtuous without being tub-thumping, it has much to teach young readers, not just about MD but about the human spirit and mankind's innate goodness.
