A review by blakehalsey
Olive's Ocean by Kevin Henkes

5.0

This is the second adolescent book I have read that deals with death (the other is Each Little Bird That Sings), and I have been equally impressed with both. This particular story is a serious tale of a girl facing some very adult questions. Henkes manages to remain true to her 12-year old soul while allowing her at the same time to grow and face life. It's a heart-warming and uplifting story that has helped heal a little of my own soul in facing the hardness of life.
