To say that I’ve been waiting for the latest Rob Harrell book isn’t strictly accurate, but it’s not far off the mark. Who knows? You may yet master that friggin’ F chord yet. And he’s coming to terms with the fact that if you want to survive something, do it your way. He’s finding out the school bully might have another side to him. And you know that somebody is sending around some seriously messed up, downright nasty cartoons of you to everyone. You know that thanks to your newly immunocompromised body, now you have to wear a gigantic cowboy hat in school (the dream of every middle school student, har har). You do know that when you tell your two best friends, one of them ditches you right there and then. What next? If you’re Ross Maloy, you have no friggin’ idea. You find out you have an incredibly rare eye cancer. So kick back, relax, and enjoy the world through the eye of a kid that goes the zero to hero route via some of the weirdest methods imaginable. Wink is probably one of the funniest middle grades of 2020, thanks in large part to the fact that its hero (Ross) has a cancer that its author (Rob) actually had and lived through. How dark are they? SO dark that a book about a kid with a potentially deadly eye cancer is the bit of lighthearted levity we all need and crave. And if what you know is how to lie on a steel table, your head screwed into place, a laser pointed at your face, that might be a good place to start. Based on Rob Harrell's real life experience, and packed with comic panels and spot art, this incredibly personal and poignant novel is an unforgettable, heartbreaking, hilarious, and uplifting story of survival and finding the music, magic, and laughter in life's weirdness.Available for purchase at:AmazonBarnes & NobleBooks A MillionHudson BooksellersIndieBoundPowell'sTargetWalmartApple BooksGoogle Play Store - Audiobook (Downloadable format)Kobo - Audiobook (Downloadable format)Audible - Audiobook (Downloadable format)audiobooks.Dial Books for Young Readers (an imprint of Penguin Random House) He doesn't want to lose his hair, or wear a weird hat, or deal with the disappearing friends who don't know what to say to "the cancer kid."
