These are a number of books specifically written for teenagers whose parents have cancer. I don’t have teenagers, so I know I’m not the best to review books written for them. Parents of teenagers, I’m looking for your help! Would you be willing to partner with one (or more) of your teenagers to review a book for us? We’ll send you a copy for free!

We’re giving away two (2) copies of My Parent Has Cancer And It Really Sucks and two (2) copies of When Your Parent Has Cancer: A Guide For Teens.

Written by Maya Silver and Marc Silver

Maya was fifteen when her mom was diagnosed with cancer. She and her dad wrote this book, which shares their experiences combined with advice from 100 other teens whose parents have had cancer as well as medical professionals. It tackles questions like:

  • How do I talk to my parents?
  • What do I tell school?
  • Is it bad if I’m more concerned about prom or college (answer: no!)

Check out Maya and Marc’s webpage for more about their book.
