I reviewed a book called See Ya, Simon written by David Hill. In this story teenagers Simon and Nathan are best friends and they both go to the same school. They have been making the most of their last year together as Simon is getting weaker and weaker each day. Although Simon is unwell he acts and talks tough. Nathan knows not to talk all sympathetic to him because Simon hates people thinking that he isn’t capable of handling his own troubles.
Simon has a strong willed attitude and will say exactly what he feels. He tries his best and all his friends help him out along the way. Simon’s parents (Mr and Mrs Shaw) are also very supportive of Simon just like his big sister Kristie. Nathans Mum cares just as much for Simon as she does for her own son, but she is in a terrible state and it is affecting Nathan and his little sister.
I think that this book is really cool and I could easily read it again. I think that you would enjoy this book more if you were 10yrs+ so that you understand the true depth of the story and the story behind it. This story is a devastating story because Simon’s tragedy happens to kids all over the world. So if you like sad stories about devastating tragedies this is the book for you.
