A short story about a little boy battles cancer and tries to live a normal life.

Review :

A story about a cancer patient fighting in all positive ways he can. A strong boy, diagnosed in his early years and desperately wanting to get to know the nature described to him by his tutor. The story is written in a poetic verse, divided into chapter where the narrator tells us about his experience with cancer.

At such a young age, the narrator beautifully portrays and explains, with the simplest of words and very deeply how he feels about what is happening to him and how he feels like, slowly, everything seems to be slipping away from him, to which everyone including the doctors deny.

The short, yet very beautiful five parts of the poem that I have read, touched my heart, truly. In one go, the flow was really well picked up, the patient's story explained and included various of characters so immaculately.

PointTrueNorth tells a fighting story, where a patient couldn't have been any stronger and in which, she shows us, that it is okay and it will be okay.
