Riassunto

"The last person Zac expects in the room next door is a girl like Mia, angry and feisty with questionable taste in music. In the real world, he wouldn't--couldn't--be friends with her. In hospital different rules apply, and what begins as a knock on the wall leads to a note--then a friendship neither of them sees coming"--

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Above average in this burgeoning subgenre; it’s the healing powers of friendship, love and family that make this funny-yet-philosophical tale of brutal teen illness stand out." —Kirkus * "Zac & Mia holds its own as a smart, well-crafted story about the importance of friendship and feeling understood." —School Library Journal, starred review "Betts portrays cancer as hard, scary, and isolating, but beatable—or at least bearable—if one isn't facing it alone, and her depiction of a boy trying to hold onto a normal life and a girl realizing she can't keep hers from changing has power." —Publishers Weekly "This Australian import, told from alternating perspectives, introduces two characters who are remarkable in their own right." —Horn Book Magazine "There’s complexity in their sometimes thorny relationship that makes this compelling as more than just a romance, but their connection is ultimately satisfyingly heartfelt. Hand this to readers looking for a love story with shadows but not inevitable doom." —Bulletin Winner of the 2012 Australian Text Prize
