Everything Everything

Seventeen-year-old Maddie suffers from an immunodeficiency disease which traps her in her home, with only her mother, nurse, and tutor. When she becomes smitten with Olly, her new charming neighbour, Maddie questions if a restricted life is worth living or if she should take risks to pursue a more meaningful life. This romance novel would be a popular literature circle choice or individual novel to explore themes of independence, trust, and risk. The novel includes insightful illustrations from Maddie’s journal entries that brim with personality and humour.
