ABOUT THE BOOK

Anna Fitzgerald is thirteen years old. From the moment she was born, she knew she was special. Because Anna is a miracle of modern science – she was genetically created to save the life of her sister, Kate.

Kate has acute promyelocytic leukaemia. Anna is her allogenic donor – a perfect sibling match. Kate has spent much of her life in and out of hospital. And Anna, who is perfectly healthy, has spent most of her life in hospital with her.

Now Anna has had enough. So she’s found a lawyer from the newspaper and she’s going to persuade him to take on her case. She’s going to sue her parents for the right to her own body.

Gripping, thought-provoking, heart-breaking, My Sister’s Keeper is a novel absolutely of our times.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

	NATIONAL LIBRARY FOR THE BLIND
	Imagine not being able to get hold of the book all your friends are saying you must read. Newspapers, magazines and TV shows are telling you it’s one of the best books they’ve ever read, but you can’t read it, let alone express your views or vote for it. Thankfully that is not the case with Richard & Judy’s Best Read! Once again, the National Library for the Blind (NLB) has worked closely alongside Richard & Judy to make sure blind people can take part in the Best Read and is producing the short-listed books in Braille to sit alongside each book club programme. Find out more information on buying or borrowing these books, and more information about NLB here...
