There's a boy, and I think he has a younger sister.
He goes to live with an elderly lady, maybe his grandmother.
The backyard is full of junk, and there's an old trailer out there.
The boy finds a man living in it, and he man has a telescope. He lets them watch stars and stuff.
In the end, he dies of cancer (I think it was cancer).
I can't remember what it was, or who wrote it!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
"Paper boy Todd Bowden meets neighbor Arthur Denker and discovers his dark secret. The pair form a bond over the next few months which deepens when Todd is also implicated in keeping the secrets he feeds on and thrills to as well as keeping company with a war criminal and forging his own school records as a cover up for his activities. The secrets and the shared experiences bring emotional problems for both and in their personal choice of outlets in an attempt to assuage their disturbance, both indulge in murder and social menace. Both Todd and Denker use moves and counter moves to blackmail each other, but within four years circumstances expose them and spin out of their control."
Doesn't sound like it lol!
^^ That info was about Apt Pupil, not the book I'm looking for
