About the Author:
Ann Kelley is a photographer and prize-winning poet who once nearly played cricket for Cornwall. She has previously published a collection of poetry and photographs, a book of photos of St Ives families and an audio book of cat stories. She lives with her husband and cats on the edge of a cliff in Cornwall where they have survived a flood, a landslip, a lightning strike and the roof blowing off.
Review:
"The feature of this story that separates it from the usual teen-angst novel, however, is that Gussie, with her irrepressible zest for life, is awaiting a... transplant that will lengthen her life. The presentation of this intelligent, insightful little girl dealing with such exceptional difficulties shows truly the strength of the human mind." -- Rachel Allen "Western Morning News"
