Ways to Live Forever by Sally Nicholls

Click here for book talk.

My Name is Sam.
I am eleven years old.
I collect stories and fantastic facts.
By the time you read this, I will probably be dead.

Living through the last stages of leukemia, Sam wants to know facts. Facts about UFO's, ghosts, how it feels to kiss a girl. He wants to break a world record, watch horror movies, go up the down-escalator. And Sam is determined to find answers to all of the questions nobody ever answers-all of them.

Written as a collection of journal entries, lists, questions, and pictures, Sam's story will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will show you how one boy friend a way to live forever.
