The Junior Cancer Championship
So it can be done: writing an original and moving YA novel about young people with cancer after John Green’s 'The Fault in Our Stars'. Edward van de Vendel and Roy Looman have done so, in a way that feels completely authentic and personal. They have chronicled Roy’s story in 'The Junior Cancer Championship' – a rather provocative title that shows exactly what it’s all about.
