And while there is some sadness to the story, as eleven-year-old Sam is indeed dying of leukemia, he decides to spend his last few months trying to do the things he wants to do and answering the questions that nobody ever answers. We see how the people around him are coping with his impending death as Sam himself narrates the story through journal entries about what he is thinking, feeling, and doing before his death.
