Maxy Awards "Book of the Year" and USA Today Bestseller

The international bestselling novel about Murray McBride, a lonely 100-year-old man who's outlived just about everyone he's ever loved. But when he meets a boy awaiting a heart transplant, Murray may learn something about finding meaning in life again . . .

With all his family and friends gone except an estranged grandson, retired Major League ballplayer Murray McBride is looking for a reason to live. He finds it in Jason Cashman, a spirited 10-year-old boy with a terminal heart defect and a list of five things he wants to do before he dies. Murray is determined to help Jason fulfill his dreams. Together, they race against the limited time each has left, ticking off Jason's wishes one by one. Along the way, Murray remembers what it's like to be young, and Jason fights for the opportunity to grow old. But when tragedy strikes, their worlds are turned upside-down, and an unexpected gift is the only thing that can make Jason's final wish come true.

100-year-old Murray McBride finds new meaning in life, and starts a positive butterfly effect on the lives of those around him, in this series about coming of age, friendship, purpose. This heartwarming coming-of-old-age novel is perfect for fans of Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove and Mike Gayle's All the Lonely People.

A wonderful story!

I had a hard time getting past the narrator voice in the beginning, however the story was so enjoyable I stayed with it. So glad I did. What a treasure this book is. Made me laugh and cry. I wish there were more like this one. I hope they make a movie out of it!

can't get past the narrator

The story might be great, but the narrator can't read. I tried to get past it, but I couldn't get past him. I got to the point where I didn't care who lived or died, I just wanted it to end.
