A bit slow to start but a great story about a kid in the midst of cancer treatment. Harrell doesn't skimp on the icky details which makes the health stuff ring true in a way most books for middle grade don't manage. Highly recommended but I would have liked an author's note clarifying how much of the tale is autobiographical. This was a fun read, despite the topic 'cancer'. Harrell mixes his own experiences with eye cancer into a fictional tale of a kid that goes through a period of cancer treatment, losing friends, being bullied on, but on the other hand sustained friendship with his best friend, making new friends, discovering music and playing music. Some emotional bits, but plenty of humorous and entertaining parts, too. Well written, easy to read, nice kind of humour, and I also love the sentiment that "normal" isn't necessarily something you need to aim for. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

All the supporting characters add depth to the story and help Ross discover that music and friendship can see him through the dark times and his insecurities. Ross and Abby have a great friendship and Ross is a strong character that is also self-effacing – I think this is a strength of the novel. Rob Harrell’s own experience with cancer gives Wink a genuine feel and a platform for middle grade readers to talk about illness, empathy, and compassion without being overwhelmed by a heavy tear-jerker.
