"You can always tell a weirdo by the way they don't find weird activities the least bit weird."

This was so much fun to narrate for Learning Ally! It was a bit of a challenge to get through the last few chapters without bursting into tears, though. But that's good writing for you! This book is worth reading whether you're 10 or 50.

Minor: Grief and Death of parent

I was all set to give this 2.5 stars due to its immature silliness, but the last couple chapters were heartfelt enough to push it up to 3 stars. I wish it would've been more honest throughout, instead of oblivious goofiness.

I loved this book. It covers a weighty topic of the death of a loved one and the black hole that is left in the wake. But it does it in such a caring humorous way. My boys and I laughed until we cried and then we also cried at the sad bits too having recently gone through a big loss in our lives. I didn't know what I was signing up for when I grabbed this title but it is one of my all-time favorite books.

Read this out loud to the kids. Did not expect to cry. The book is about a girl grieving the loss of her dad and how she works through it and honors his life.

A very sweet lighthearted book about grief. I would highly recommend this book to young teens and older children. A great way to understand grief in a humorous way.
