A visually stunning, heartfelt, touching and empowering graphic novel, inspired by Linda Sargent's own lived experience.
Tosh's upbringing feels close to perfect: best friends, mischief and secondary school, just around the next corner. But when chronic illness strikes, it threatens to derail everything she loves. A heart-rending graphic novel of discovery, adversity, and the overwhelming healing powers of imagination and stories.

Any reader will be inspired and uplifted by the resilience and positivity with which Tosh meets her changed future. -- Joy Court * Love Reading 4 Kids *
A forceful and evocative personal history of fortitude and resolve, mesmerisingly clad in whimsy, charm and beguiling imagination. -- Wim Wiacek * Now Read This! *
