Una historia conmovedora que muestra que, incluso en los momentos más difíciles, nunca estamos realmente solos.

Convaleciente de un trasplante de médula, Zac lleva semanas solo y aburrido en el hospital cuando en la habitación contigua ingresan a Mia, una impetuosa chica de su edad. A los golpecitos en el tabique del principio los sigue el intercambio de notas por medio de las enfermeras y, finalmente, en el silencio de la noche, la comunicación por redes.

Poco a poco, una amistad surgida de la necesidad da paso a una atracción muy especial que, sin embargo, se verá expuesta a una dura prueba cuando más adelante la realidad cotidiana interponga unos obstáculos con los que Zac y Mia no contaban.

Zac y Mia es una historia excepcional, una novela íntima y conmovedora sobre dos chicos cuyo prometedor futuro se tambalea bajo sus pies y que mantiene la emoción hasta el final.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A moving story that shows that, even in the most difficult times, we are never truly alone.

"When I was little, I believed in Jesus and Santa, spontaneous combustion, and the Loch Ness monster. Now I believe in science, statistics, and antibiotics."

So says seventeen-year-old Zac Meier during a long, grueling leukemia treatment in Perth, Australia. A loud blast of Lady Gaga alerts him to the presence of Mia, the angry, not-at-all-stoic cancer patient in the room next door. Once released, the two near-strangers can't forget each other, even as they desperately try to resume normal lives. The story of their mysterious connection drives this unflinchingly tough, tender novel told in two voices.
