This book is written from two different points of view - one is star skater, Eagan, set on getting into the Olympics when she's a bit older; the other is sick girl, Amelia, who needs a new heart and gets Eagan's after she has an accident while skating. While it was an excellent read for itself, it has left me wondering whether there could possibly be such a thing as cell memory that means organ recipients take on some of the characteristics of their donors.
Who would enjoy this? If you like a story that is engrossing and introduces you to something a bit new and different, then this one should suit you.

This book does a good job in making you think about whether or not you want to be an organ donor, and what an incredible difference it makes to the person it is given to.
ReplyDeleteAnother book that looks at the idea of cell memory is an Australian story, 'Destiny's Right Hand' by Michael Wagner.
