Cloud boy by Marcia Williams. Walker Books 2019.
Anger often comes out when grieving, something that is
vividly - and so really - depicted in this novel.
Angie, the first person narrator in this diary format story,
runs the gamut of emotions as her best friend and nearly-twin, Harry gradually
succumbs to illness. (Although not stated, it seems to be a brain tumour.)
Threaded through their story is that of Angie's
great-grandmother and her time spent in Changi prison during World War Two, in
the Japanese occupation of Singapore.
