Welcome to Litsy!

This MG novel is based on a true story about Maddie who was diagnosed for a brain tumor. Maddie uses mustaches to make her friends smile as well as give her courage. When she starts to notice that her left arm and leg are acting different she think it is just because she is growing. When her parents take her to the doctor they found out she has a brain tumor. When she wakes up from surgery her friends have started a hashtag and take pictures 👇🏻

This is a middle grade book about a quirky 12 year old fond of novelty mustaches diagnosed with a growth near her brain. I think this would be a great book to give a tween/teen going though difficult medical procedures. It was a nice book, but not necessarily something I would recommend for adult readers

This book, told from the perspective of Maddie, doesn't just focus on the big C. Although it was an important part of the story. It also includes friendship, including others, and a touch on bullying.

Okay, I started tearing up just reading the book flap!
Based on the true story of Maddie, who is diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her parents are the authors and at the end readers are treated to a letter from Maddie.

I‘m only reading LGBTQ books this month, but I might need to sneak this one in.
