Top Ten Tuesday: Books that Feature Characters with Cancer
This is by far not a happy post, but seeing as how September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month – I feel that sharing these titles could be invaluable to some of you, your family or friends. Sadly, cancer touches far too many of our lives and hopefully you’ll never need these books, but if you’re looking for some characters with a little bit of hope, try one of these titles (middle grade especially), except for maybe A Monster Calls, that title is extremely dark.
