What is Oscar and the Lady in Pink about?

Ten-year-old Oscar is seriously ill and living in hospital, but the adults around him avoid telling him the truth about his condition. Then he meets Granny Rose, a lively and honest visitor in pink. She suggests a remarkable game: Oscar will imagine each day as ten years of a whole lifetime. As he writes letters to God about growing up, falling in love and facing difficult choices, Oscar discovers courage, friendship and a new way to understand life.
