What do you want to do before you die?

Wow I just finished reading this inspirational book, ‘Before I die’ by Jenny Downham, about a 16 year old girl who is dying of Leukaemia. There is nothing quite like death to make you want to live. Here is what is written on the cover, which moved me to buy it immediately………..

‘It’s not.’
