Ross has some tough days but it’s also funny in plenty of ways. This coming-of-age novel tackles bullying, illness and how we judge others. But when some brutal and upsetting memes about his illness start circulating school, he’s tested to the limits. Aside from figuring out what having cancer means for him, he also has to deal with everyone looking at him, his friends freaking out and, perhaps worst of all, the embarrassing side effects of his treatment.Īs Ross navigates school and growing up and all the drama that goes with it – from having a crush to the ups and downs of friendships – as well as being sick, he channels his frustrations and fears into both his self-drawn comic strip about superhero-of-sorts Batpig and the discovery of music. He’s just started radiotherapy and, now school term has begun, he’s become the ‘cancer kid’. Last summer, Ross was diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer.
