tumors in children

"Social media star and comedian Josh Sundquist takes readers on his hilarious journey to the fringes of viral stardom to discover if it's possible to be both very famous and very happy"--Provided by publisher.

At the age of twenty-five, Josh Sundquist, who had Ewing's sarcoma as a child and is now a paralympic ski racer, looks back to try to understand why he has never had a steady girlfriend.

All during her childhood, Emily felt different from other kids. Between therapist visits, sudden uncontrollable bursts of anger, and unexplained episodes of dizziness and loss of coordination, things were always worse for her. For years, her only escape was through the stories she'd craft about herself and the world around her. But it wasn't until a near-fatal accident at twelve years of age that Emily and her family discover the truth: a grapefruit sized benign brain tumor at the base of her skull. In turns candid, angry, and beautiful, Emily Wing Smith's memoir chronicles her struggles with both mental and physical disabilities during her childhood and the means by which she coped with it all---writing.
