Here is Jess's life so far:
She is 16 years old.
She's never wagged school.
She's on a netball team.
Her best friends are Sara and Charlotte.
She has cancer.
Last week she kissed a boy called Dylan.
Today her hair is going down the plughole.
If Dylan finds out he'll probably drop her — or worse, feel sorry for her.
Can she keep it a secret?

Reviews
— Tharsiga, Young Australian Readers’ Awards
Written by an author who had first hand experience of cancer as a young person, there is a lightness of touch and wry humour in the story line which makes for an absorbing read... Jess is a spunky heroine who elicits sympathy but not pity from the reader.
