Gavin battles pain while teaching those around him lessons in love, laughter, and perseverance. His Mito is superimposed with seizures, tremors, pulmonary issues among other health problems. This book, written from his sister's perspective, allows a small glimpse into this Mito warrior's world. He is a real superhero.
