But now, he's lying in a hospital bed, and Ian, his best friend who's as close as a brother, is watching, waiting and remembering...A characteristically funny, moving, life-affirming novel about a remarkable character and the truly inspirational effect he has on everyone he meets, from the 2001-2003 Children's Laureate, multi-award-winning author, Anne Fine.
