Tim Green says he decided to write a novel about a kid facing cancer after watching how his wife fought to survive her own illness.“Her mental and physical toughness were more heroic to me than anything I'd ever seen in the national sports leagues”Green told TFK Kid Reporter Zachary JLewis.

After watching his wife's battleGreen saidhe knew he  needed to write about a person who struggled through a serious illness.But because the target age for his books is teenhe needed to tell the story through the eyes of someone that age.

When friends introduced Green to Jeffrey KeithGreen knew he had found the right person to help him“capture the heroism that it takes to fight cancer”Cancer­survivor Jeffrey Keith lost his leg to disease at age twelvebut went on to be the goalie(守门员)for the Boston College Division 1 Lacrosse (长曲棍球)Team and was also the first  amputee to run 3,300 miles across the country.When Green heard Jeffrey Keith's storyhe knew it was the perfect narrative on which to base his next book.

TFK asked Keith what it felt like to read Unstoppable for the first time.“Tim captured what it felt like for me to go through this experience and battle back”Keith said.“After I read the bookTim asked me to describe it in one wordand I said‘awesome'.Tim's book sends a message to all the kids across the country that are facing obstacles that can have  nothing to do with canceryou are all unstoppableas long as you believe it.”
