Publisher's synopsis[edit | edit source]
(This synopsis was provided by the publisher for promotional purposes. For book reviews, please see Links section below.)
Zoe's Win by Jane Colby is a remarkable book - the first of its kind. Telling the story of a child with ME in a way that ensures no-one will remain unmoved, it includes a self-help section and, best of all, unequivocal advice for doctors and teachers:
ME is an organic illness, court cases result from inappropriate treatment, and education must by law be tailored for the children's needs. The National Curriculum is unsuitable for children with ME and many fare better out of school than in it.
Reviews by Mark and Anna Daffin (aged 15 and 13, TYMES Issue 30) give it 10 out of 10, and Dr Nigel Hunt of the CMO's Working Group recommends it as "a truly welcome addition to the ME literature". Includes the full statistics from the BBC's "Panorama" on ME in children.[2]
