The extraordinary - and extraordinarily powerful - follow-up
to Hey, Kiddo.

When Jarrett J. Krosoczka was in high school, he was part of a
programme that sent students to be counsellors at a camp for seriously
ill kids and their families. Going into it, Jarrett was worried:
wouldn't it be depressing, to be around kids facing such a
serious struggle? Wouldn't it be grim?

But instead of the shadow of death, Jarrett found something else
at Camp Sunshine: the hope and determination that gets people
through the most troubled of times. Not only was he subject to some
of the usual rituals that come with being a camp counselor (wilderness
challenges, spooky campfire stories, an extremely stinky
mascot costume), but he also got a chance to meet some extraordinary
kids facing extraordinary circumstances. He learned about the
captivity of illness, for sure but he also learned about the freedom
a safe space can bring.

Now, in his follow-up to the National Book Award finalist
Hey, Kiddo
, Jarrett brings readers back to Camp Sunshine so
we can meet the campers and fellow counselors who changed the course
of his life.
