“She believed in miracles. Sometimes when you least expect it they just happen, she reckoned.” -Celia Bryce, Anthem for Jackson Dawes

Score: 6/10

Megan Bright and Jackson Dawes are two teenagers who first meet each other on the hospital ward where they are both being treated for cancer. Megan is scared and worried about her illness, but Jackson seems to be an old hand, having been on the ward for ages. And everybody loves Jackson! He is a whirlwind of life and energy, warmth and sparkle. Megan will need to borrow some of Jackson's extraordinary optimism to face her and Jackson's future. (Goodreads)

Way too short to get into it; language very easy; but something about it touched my soul. I will remember this one!

“I was burning through books every day – stories about people and places I’d never heard of. They were perhaps the only thing that kept me from teetering into utter despair.” – A Court of Mist and Fury
