Adapted for young readers from his adult memoir, Just Don't Fall is
the the hilarious true story about Josh Sundquist's battle with
childhood cancer and how he worked his way to making the United States
paralympic ski team.
The inspiration for the Apple TV show Best Foot Forward!
When he was ten years old Josh Sundquist had his leg amputated to treat
bone cancer. But this is not a sad story; on the contrary, this memoir
is a story of resilience, heart, and most importantly: humor.
Young Josh had a lot of adapting to do after he lost his leg. He had to
learn how to walk again. He had to accept that he wouldn't be able to
try out for the travel soccer team. He knew his life would never be the
same again. But when he sees a poster in the hospital elevator
advertising skiing classes, he realized all might not be lost.
Equal parts heartbreaking and hilarious, Just Don't Fall is Josh's
story of surviving cancer with 50/50 odds, learning to be a professional
skiier, and making his way to being a bestselling writer and
motivational speaker. Inspirational and moving, Josh's story is one that
can be appreciated by readers of all ages.
