THE BEST MEDICINE - CHRISTINE HAMILL - Paperback

Philip is twelve years old and life is pretty good. He gets on with his mum and
gets by pretty well at school - in spite of girl problems, teacher problems,
bully problems and - er - poetry problems. Philip's happy-go-lucky life is
disrupted when his mother gets breast cancer. Bad enough that your mother is
seriously ill - but could she not have developed a less embarrassing kind of
cancer - toe cancer, maybe, or ear cancer? Philip's attempts to cope with his
situation are both hilarious and touching. Through it all, he's writing letters
to his hero, the comedian Harry Hill, looking for advice. A hilarious take on
the unfunny subject of cancer; this book brings one of modern life's most
prevalent illnesses into the light and gives it a human face [Paperback | 20 cm
