The Moon Is Forever Blue

Adam has always tried to be seen as normal; struggling to convince his classmates, friends, parents and most of all, himself, that he is ordinary, despite the ever-growing tumour in his head. This is until after his latest operation, when everything seems like a lost hope and trying to be ordinary is like living a lie. Living just doesn’t seem worth doing anymore. But with his days possibly numbered, happiness is still found and hope is never lost. Adam’s long time best friends, August and Tess, become his light in the depressing darkness with their unconditional love. The introverted, seventeen-year-old bookworm learns that life is a book, and there are a thousand pages still to be read in his story. In this heart-achingly beautiful and moving novel about friendship, Adam, with the help of August and Tess, helps us realise that being ordinary is pointless. And that living life with the things that make us happy, regardless of the battles we are forced to face, is what makes an ordinary life extraordinary.
