About the book

"Donald Delpe is a troubled teenager. Not only is he a "terrible teen" by default - as obsessed with sex, music, videogames and drugs as the rest of his gang - be he is also suffering from a lifetreatening form of leukemia, which makes him an even more difficult boy, both for his partens and his teachers. Escaping into his own comic-book realm of immortal superheroes, ruthless villains and sex-crazed vamps, he repeatedly dashes his family's hopes by refusing to fight the battles facing him in the real world. As famous psychologist Dr King is brought in to help, a glimmer of hope is rekindled. But will the doctor break the rules, betray the parents' trust and risk everything to help Donald achieve his greatest wish? Or will Donald be the one to save the doctor?"--Back cover.
