Reviews
Kids Books NZ ~ This is a story about loss, resilience, forgiveness, and learning to take life one careful step at a time. It is also a story about friendship and the quiet strength found in those who stand beside us.
David Hill writes with great sensitivity and authenticity. You are hooked from the first page, completely invested in Ben and willing him forward. You may need tissues — I certainly did, blubbing my way through much of the first half. Alongside the emotional pull, the novel offers genuine insight into what someone experiences after losing a limb, both physically and psychologically.
An unforgettable and deeply moving story that every teenager — and many adults — should read. It reminds us not to take our health for granted and strengthens our empathy for those whose lives change in an instant.
Paula Green, POETRY BOX ~ ‘The kind of book you need to clear a space for, so you can read it in one satisfying gulp.’
