Zac and Mia

Written by A. .J. Betts

Narrated by Kristin Condon and Nick Mondelli

Winner of the 2012 Australian Text Prize!--‘When I was little I believed in Jesus and Santa, spontaneous combustion, and the Loch Ness monster. Now I believe in science, statistics, and antibiotics,’ says seventeen-year-old Zac during a long, grueling leukemia treatment. A loud blast of Lady Gaga alerts him to the presence of Mia, the angry, not-at-all-stoic cancer patient in the room next door. Once released, the two can’t forget each other, even as they desperately try to resume normal lives.
