After Ever After by Jordan Sonnenblick

Jeffrey is not your typical teen. With a permanent limp and brain trauma from cancer treatment as a child, Jeffrey finally learns what it means to live life as opposed to fighting to survive each day.

Heart-wrenching! This is an emotional tale surrounding one boy's journey as it affects his family, friends and an entire community who rally to support him. Make sure to read this one with a box of tissues at your side.
