Tosh's Island

Inspired by real-life experiences, this is a heart-rending graphic novel of discovery, adversity, and the overwhelming healing powers of imagination and stories.

Tosh's upbringing feels close to perfect: best friends, mischief and secondary school, just around the next corner. But when chronic illness strikes, it threatens to derail everything she loves.

Beautiful and moving full-colour illustrations evoke the joy and heartache of Tosh's remarkable story.

Includes a personal letter and photos from the author Linda Sargent - the real life Tosh!

'It is so rare to see disability and chronic illness ever depicted in children's fiction and to be done so well makes this an important and welcome addition to any collection. Any reader will be inspired and uplifted by the resilience and positivity with which Tosh meets her changed future.' -- Joy Court, LoveReading4Kids
