A note for parents
This is a literary anthology of speculative fiction stories centered on cancer, written by adult authors to support cancer research. While the premise deals with serious illness and mortality, the stories use magical and fantastical elements rather than graphic realism. The collection emphasizes emotional resilience and hope alongside fear, making it more suitable for mature teens than young readers, though individual stories vary in intensity.
