A Boy and His Soul

This book follows our main character Jeremy as he goes through his cancer journey as well as his dying journey. Throughout the book we meet Jeremy's soul, Jewel, as he is learning about heaven and saying goodbye to his family and friends.

I found this book very sad, but it also approached the topic of dying with ease and compassion for the reader. I think that while it was sad, it gave me a good idea of how to understand dying from multiple different perspectives. My favourite part was when Jeremy first meets Jewel!

I would recommend this book to older teens and adults because of the content that is in the book.

I recommend this book.
