Winner of the Branford Boase Award 2008 for debut novel. What would you do if you were a teenage girl with leukaemia and only a short time to live? Tess has ten things on her list and with the help of her best friend she embarks upon them with gusto. This is an extraordinary novel. Despite the inevitable, it is enormously uplifting, at times humorous, often sad and always surprising. The reaction to those around her and how they treat her is as astutely observed as the dying girl herself.
Comparison: Alice Kuipers, Meg Rosoff.
Tessa has just a few months to live. Fighting back against hospital visits, tests, drugs with excruciating side-effects, she compiles a list. It's her To Do Before I Die list.
