Anthem for Jackson Dawes

By Celia Bryce

Thirteen year old Megan is annoyed at having to be treated for cancer in the pediatric unit. The only other teen there is sixteen year old Jackson, who has been there for ages. As Megan’s friends from school distance themselves from her as they fear her illness, Megan be-comes closer to those at the hospital, especially Jackson, whose comfort may be just what she needs.
If you loved The Fault in Our Stars by John Green then you should give this a try. I’m not saying it’s better than TFIOS but it’s a good similar read. The book takes place in England so some of the language is a bit different.
