SOLVED. Memoir (non-fiction) about a very intelligent boy with terminal illness. [s]

[Alexandra]

I read this book between the years of 2015-2016. I found it while thrifting.
The cover is a sandy beige color and the title was in a light blue color. The story was about an incredibly intelligent young boy who was diagnosed with some terminal illness. His mother and father were doing everything to get help for him.
Most of what I read so far seemed as if the boy was well aware of something being wrong but no one around him was trying to tell him the truth of what was really happening.

Was this book geared towards children, teens, or adulte?
Time period/location story takes place?
Part of a series?

Death Be Not Proud is similar, but it's a memoir, not fiction, and the boy is older (late high school).

I agree it sounds a LOT like Death Be Not Proud, including the cover.
