In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story.

Absolutely stunning. John Green's "Everything Is Tuberculosis" is a revelation. I went into this book thinking I had a basic understanding of tuberculosis, but I emerged completely transformed. Green masterfully weaves together historical context, scientific data, and deeply personal narratives to illuminate the stark reality that TB remains a devastating global health crisis. It's truly eye-opening to realize how prevalent and insidious this disease still is in our modern world.
Beyond the vital information, the quality of the writing is exceptional. Green's ability to convey complex topics with clarity and empathy is truly remarkable. The reader is drawn into the narrative, feeling both informed and deeply moved. The way that he highlights the human element of this disease, and the global inequalities that perpetuate it, is done with such care. This book is not only informative, but is also a call to action. I cannot recommend this book enough. A must read. Also go Henry, I can't wait to check out their YouTube.

Shawn McDaniel's life is not what it may seem to anyone looking at him. He is glued to his wheelchair, unable to voluntarily move a muscle - he can't even move his eyes. For all Shawn's father knows, his son may be suffering. Shawn may want a release. And as long as he is unable to communicate his true feelings to his father, Shawn's life is in danger. To the world, Shawn's senses seem dead. Within these pages, however, we meet a side of him that no one else has seen - a spirit that is rich beyond imagining.

In the spirit of Steve Jobs and Moneyball, Elon Musk is both an illuminating and authorized look at the extraordinary life of one of Silicon Valley's most exciting, unpredictable, and ambitious entrepreneurs - a real-life Tony Stark - and a fascinating exploration of the renewal of American invention and its new makers.
