Genomineerd voor de 2009 National Book Award

One day David Small awoke from a supposedly harmless operation to discover that he had been transformed into a virtual mute. The fourteen-year-old boy had not been told that he had throat cancer and was expected to die. In Stitches, Small re-creates his real-life journey from a speechless victim to a young man willing to flee his home with nothing more than dreams of becoming an artist. «
