See Ya, Simon by David HillTold from the point of view of his best friend, Nathan, this much loved novel looks at a year in the life of teenager Simon, who suffers from terminal Muscular Dystrophy. Simon is brave, but not at all saint-like. He experiences teenage anxieties and desires, like any other adolescent. This award-winning story is told with real humour (e.g. an hilarious wheelchair incident) but David Hill also imparts a very real sense of tenderness, as in Simon’s poignant question, “What’s it feel like to ride a bike?” I heartily recommend this book to any class from Year 7 upwards.

I think see ya simon was a very good book it was sad along with lots of humer along with it, I think its for kids aged 11 to 18.
See Ya Simon is such an inspiring book about a friendship that will never be divided even though one of them has been taken out of the world. It made me cry reading it.
It is an awesome book that everyone should read, especially with a friendship that is nearly
broken, and inspire them to get back again.
this book is so cool as it shows you the real friendship boys or anyone would have and i have to admit the story brang tears to my eyes along with a disire of writing books......
This book is really cool but the ending is sad when he dies...:'(
This novel is a very heart-warming book that will make you laugh and cry. It makes you think about what life living with a disability must be like. It made me realise that there are many difficult hurdles to overcome when you have a disease and many friendships to be created.

I thought the book was very good and was funny but also kind of sad :( recommend for special people like me.
See Ya Simon was a really good book, that was one of the books that i actually had finish. It is so good i read it 2 times already. It was really sad along with a lot of humor thrown in. It's a classic and some other day i wish to read it again.
