The Bubble Boy
Stewart Foster
Amir is mad. He’s crazy. But the hospital wouldn’t let a crazy person in. They must have interviewed him and checked his qualifications. But maybe he didn’t even meet them? Maybe he hasn’t even come from India. He might have arrived on an alien spaceship and snuck in here in the middle of the night.
Review
by Isobel Moore
The Bubble Boy is a very sweet read about Joe, who has never left his London hospital room because of a deadly autoimmune disease, so he spends his days chatting online and watching superhero movies. That is, until new nurse Amir comes into his life and things start to change. This book is compelling and sweet, and also vastly hopeful. Although Joe’s situation is hard, Foster creates a full world around him and explores his loneliness and frustrations whilst never losing sight of the importance of hope and curiosity in the world. A beautiful read.
