The Sweet Hereafter by Russell Banks
4.0

Beautiful, sad, and compelling -- the kind of book I took extra-long train rides to read because I couldn't get it out of my head all day. My only quibble was that the voice of Nichole often sounded too worldly-wise for a small-town teen, but I guess surviving a horrific bus accident might do that to you.
