The most recent chapter of my book that I read was chapter 6
The most important line in that chapter was the first line. His uncle has sneaked him out for his last time trick or treating. And he knows one of the nurses in the hospice so she is going to cover for them
"I could have stayed in those 3 blocks all night , kids running around yelling and happy" I think this is the most important line in this chapter because it shows how it is really sad and boring in the ward and how even seeing others playing and being happy in the streets could make him happy.
You could relate this book to the world because it makes you realize what thousands of kids are going through all over the world and it is more real because the authors own son was in the same position as the boy in the novel.
The best thing about this book in my opinion is that the author knows all about the topic so it makes it better to read in many ways

my independent reading
My independent reading book is called somebody up there hates
you
The novel is mostly set in a cancer hospice. Where there is
a 17 year old boy and his friend Sylvie who have had all the cancer treatments
and they have both now been told they only have a few months to live so of
course all the doctors and nurses have all these plans to keep him alive but he
has his own plans for how to live the last few months of his life is “I’m not
dead yet so I might as well keep it interesting I mean we are kids hospice prisoners
or not”. They have come up with a new name for their disease they all it
somebody up there hates you syndrome and that’s where the book gets its name.
The book is mostly
about all the things that they get up to keep their lives interesting like he
gets his uncle to sneak him out for one last Halloween night and pulling pranks
on the harpist that plays all the time outside the elevator. But when they are
out doing something one night Sylvie gets a scare, and Sylvie’s dad didn’t like
him much any way but now after that he absolutely despises him. So from then on
her parents stayed with her day and night to make sure she doesn’t go to see
him.
