"How do you get humor out of a book about a kid with a rare eye cancer? It’s an idea so crazy it kind of works. It’s hard to blend in when you’re losing your hair, forced to wear a floppy cowboy hat and get called “the cancer kid” behind your back. But when Ross Maloy gets obsessed with learning the guitar, things go from awful to awesome. This funky little book mixes comic book elements with sly jokes and characters that should be two-dimensional but always find a way to show another side. (For ages 9 to 12)"
