Two weeks with the Queen
Ratings1
Average rating4
A humorous but deeply moving story about Colin who refuses to believe that his younger brother is dying of cancer and decides to take things into his own hands. Colin decides to go to the top for help, none other than the Queen. Colin's efforts to penetrate the British establishment are hilarious, surprising and doomed to failure, but although Colin can't find a cure for cancer, he does find a way to help some of the new friends he makes, as well as discovering the best thing he can do for Luke.

Colin's brother Luke has terminal cancer and Colin is being shipped off to England to stay with distant relatives during Luke's final days. This gives Colin an opportunity to speak to the Queen of England so she will send her best cancer doctor to Australia to help Luke recover.
You can't help but fall in love with Colin and his wild optimism and his enthusiastic can-do spirit as he searches England for something, someone to cure his sick brother.
There's a reason why books are on the 1001 Children's Books list are on the list; these are all very good stories, and this one is a crazy mix of humor and pathos.
