(3) YA In this British import, fifteen-year-old Francis's life is upended when he is diagnosed with leukemia. It's not all terrible--while in the hospital, he falls for Amber, his tough, enigmatic roommate. But as Francis begins to recover from his illness, Amber does not. Francis's dry narration and the colorful cast of supporting characters add levity to a depressing (and familiar) premise.
