(1) 4-6 Sam, eleven, is dying of leukemia. This journal record of his final four months describes eight goals, which include being a teenager (smoking, having a girlfriend) and seeing the earth from space. Nicholls creates a character and a world that are authentic, buoyant, honest, and stripped of sentimentality. The energy and joy of this novel is a remarkable feat.
