A scary health crisis puts Han on a journey that will test his resiliency, strain his relationships, and reveal who his true and supportive friends really are.  At the start of his treatment, Han’s friends offered lots of encouragement and support.  But as the days out of school and away from friends turned to weeks, and the weeks turned to months, Han felt a shift.  Conversations became more infrequent.  Interactions felt more awkward.  Everyone, it seemed, was acting differently.  And now, as Han gets ready to come back to the classroom, he questions whether he will fit in.  He wonders if the laughs, the jokes, and good times with his teammates are over.  He fears his relationships are never going to be the same.

I’m Sick but That’s Not What Hurts is a dramatic, thought-provoking chapter book that highlights the importance of friends and family, belonging, and connection.  Young readers are reminded that when life throws hard punches, the best way to respond is with courage, patience, and grit.
