Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A teen grapples with ALS and his decision to die in this devastatingly beautiful debut novel infused with the haunting grace of samurai death poetry and the noble importance of friendship.
Abe Sora is going to die, and heâs only seventeen years old. Diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrigâs disease), heâs already lost the use of his legs, which means he can no longer attend school. Seeking a sense of normality, Sora visits teen chat rooms online and finally finds what heâs been longing for: friendship without pity.
As much as he loves his new friends, he canât ignore whatâs ahead. Heâs beginning to lose the function of his hands, and soon heâll become even more of a burden to his mother. Inspired by the death poems of the legendary Japanese warriors known as samurai, Sora makes the decision to leave life on his own terms. And he needs his friends to help him.
