Although this is a "young adult novel," I think I apply to readers of all ages. The themes of grief, death, love, family, and others were miraculously demonstrated through the stories of two intertwined girls.

If there ever was such a thing as a "must read" this is it. This evokes memories of The Education of Little Tree. A great read.

Another revisit of a childhood favorite that holds up well. I really enjoyed the narrative envelope device as well as the use of oral storytelling. The denouement was a little too tidy for my adult tastes, but all in all a quick and sweet book.
