Before I Die by Jenny Downham
      #92157 - 09/04/2008 18:02

Sixteen-year-old Tessa is dying of leukaemia but has a list of things to do first, on the cusp of adulthood she wants to fit her whole life into a few months. She wants to try sex, drugs, crime…and she does, along with experiencing tender love and the security of sharing the terrible nights with someone who loves her.
Inevitably this is a sad book but Tessa’s story, and the instructions she leaves behind for her family, tell us to grab life now.
This book will leave you with a new appetite for living and memories of a strong-willed young woman.
