A teen grapples with ALS and his decision to die in this “deeply moving” (Booklist, starred review) debut novel infused with the haunting grace of Japanese poetry and the noble importance of friendship. Sora is going to die, and he’s only seventeen years old. Diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), he’s already lost the use of his legs, which means he can no longer attend school. Seeking a sense of normality, Sora visits teen chat rooms online and finally finds what he’s been longing for: friendship without pity. As much as he loves his new friends, he can’t ignore what’s ahead. He’s beginning to lose the function of his hands, and soon he’ll become even more of a burden to his mother. Inspired by the death poems of the legendary Japanese warriors known as samurai, Sora makes the decision to leave life on his own terms. And he needs his friends to help him.

Mit der Diagnose ALS ist nichts mehr, wie es war, für den 17-jährigen Sora. Er wird sterben. Bald. Konfrontiert mit dieser Wahrheit sucht Sora nach einem Rest Selbstbestimmung und Würde. Einen geschützten Raum findet er in Chats im Internet. Hier findet er auch neue Freunde: die vom Zeichnen besessene Mai und den liebenswerten Kaito. Doch werden die beiden ihn auch noch mögen, wenn sie ihn richtig kennenlernen? Wenn sie alles über ihn wissen? Soras Gedanken kreisen immer konkreter um den Plan, wenigstens den Zeitpunkt seines Todes selbst zu bestimmen. Nur dafür braucht er die Hilfe seiner Freunde. Eine bewegende Geschichte über Krankheit und Tod, aber auch über die Kraft wahrer Freundschaft.
