The Draft - Jemima Elizabeth Layzell

'We all have our stories to tell. Some of us live long enough to tell many of them. This is Jemima's first and last and because of that so important to all of us who read it now. This is her life.' Michael Morpurgo 'I think it's the most beautiful, touching, heart-breaking book.' Jacqueline Wilson 'This Diary belongs to Jemima Elizabeth Layzell If I were a Fairy I'd be called Lizzy Stardust'. So begins the private diary of a Somerset ten-year-old whose secret wish was for 'somebody to really, really like me for who I am'. Jemima died in March 2012 and her diary is about real people and real situations. This book contains her innermost thoughts as she grew into a teenager. It shows that dreams can come true, even after death. Jemima was an unwitting heroine, leaving a powerful legacy: she willingly chose to donate her organs after her death, which have helped to save a staggering eight people's lives.
