Lost in the Sun
by Lisa Graff
Lisa Graff always does a phenomenal job capturing emotions of kids in that very awkward stage of life--middle school. Trent is struggling because he was part of a freak accident where another kid died, which causes a lot of his family and members of community to treat him differently for no good reason. By accident, he befriends a girl with a large scar on her face who has a much better attitude about her issues. None if the themes are too overt and I think the family relationships ring true, though I struggled to understand Trent's dad as much as he did throughout the story. There is a mature, not too clean ending that will inspire lots of theories from readers.
