This is the fabulous true story of Jack Andraka, a boy who, at the age of fifteen, came up with a early detection test for pancreatic, ovarian and lung cancer. HIs method is much more effective than what doctors used previously and cost only three cents a test. The story is more than just that of a young successful innovator. It details quite clearly Jack's path of creative inventiveness, the close connection he had with a dear family friend who Jack called "Uncle Ted" and how Ted's death inspired Jack to help others suffering from the same disease. It also does a great job of explaining when and how Jack realized he was gay, and how he handled some of the homophobic bullying that he faced regularly. It is an inspiring read for a variety of reasons and one that young people should not miss. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
