This book is one of a kind. Definitely unique. It is very easy to be sucked into the illustrations and be taken way back in time. It is thought provoking .I couldn't stop reading it even though it, in some way, opened a wound I had thought had healed-my late grandmother suffered and braved the cancer treatments just like Conor's mum. The fear of the inevitable truth gripped and tightened my tummy throughout. I did cry buckets as I read it.The holding on..., letting go...
It is a must read for every teacher, there might be some children in our classes who might be going through Conor's experience, minus the monster.
