AN inspirational teenager who has written his memoirs is making a guest appearance today.

Lewis Hine, 17, was due to be in Churchill Square, Brighton, from 1pm in WHSmith.

He has written Looking At The Stars and he will be signing copies of the new book.

Lewis has a brain tumour and also has hydrocephalus and epilepsy.

Since he was 17 months old, Lewis has had 13 brain operations.

Despite the challenges life has thrown at him, he is dedicated to helping others.

From his own experience of spending so much time away from school and trying to make friends during crucial parts of his life, he was inspired to create Friend Finder at age 14 – a website that helps other young people.
