The girl in room four-seventeen seems to be a permanent part of the paediatric wing of St. Anne's Hospital. She is bright, smiley, full of life. She doesn't look sick at all. Ben Carlisle becomes a semi-permanent visitor, taking all the time he can to visit his sister, Emily, who has been diagnosed with Leukaemia. Again. The girl in 417 is nothing but a privileged kid with no place else to go. He seems to be the only one who doesn't like her, or her ability to make him think beyond his self-involved mindset. So why is it that he can't seem to stay away from her?

I am Robin Cabot. I just moved to a new school. I play football. But there is one small problem. I'm a girl.

I will never go back to school. I will never be famous. I will never go to university or get a job. I won't see my sister grow up. I will never travel the world, learn to drive, fall in love or move out of the house. It's not fair. I don't want to die like this. I want to start living. I want to live before I die. Phoebe is 17 years old. She is busy dying of aggressive leukemia. But she still has a whole list of things she want to do before that happens.

Macin Cole was diagnosed with leukemia when she was eight years old. After fighting a three year long battle, she was declared cancer free. Trying to put her struggle behind her she vows to keep her fight with cancer a secret when she starts a new school. But after five years in remission could the possibility of a relapse happen?
