Product Description
Book Description
Zoe's Win is an ME-friendly book. Printed in clear type, it
opens with Zoe's uplifting story, designed to be read aloud if the child or
young person's not well enough to read. Zoe's not a real person but the
things that happen to her have really happened and Zoe does find out how to
win with ME. You can too, because the help section really is helpful.

From the Publisher
This is a moving and very lovely little book. The author knows
all about ME at first hand and her voice is the authentic voice of a
sufferer. She is also an ME expert with many publications to her name. A
former head teacher, she runs a charity to support children with ME that
has political support at the highest level. But that's not why you should
read Zoe's Win. If your child has ME, or if you teach children with ME, you
will be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars The 'story' of Zoe and ME - seen through the eyes of a child, 19 Jun 2001
If you read Zoe's Win you will experience through the eyes of a child with ME just what it must be like to find your body will not do what you want it to.

It must be terrible to suffer from ME at any time in your life, but did you know that Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, to give it its full name, is the biggest cause of long-term absence through sickness from school? It must be a very heavy burden for a child to have this illness. And a great strain for any parent or teacher trying to help such a child.

ME is not a 'new' illness - epidemics have been recorded since 1934 - but the term ME has only been in use since 1956. The disease is also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It is a real, organically-based, illness, and if you read Zoe's Win you will experience through the eyes of a child with ME just what it must be like to find your body will not do what you want it to.

Jane Colby, the author of Zoe's Win, has herself suffered from ME, and she has also co-authored the largest study of ME ever undertaken. The early pages tell the 'story' of Zoe and her illness, and what it was like when she tried to get back to normal too soon, and of the relapse when she got worse all over again.

The rest of the book is full of information about ME. and is full of valuable information for families, doctors and teachers who are involved with a child who has ME
