Dead Birds Singing-Beautifully Now

I just read this book for a book report on Teen Realilistic fiction. I'm only in 6th grade and you may think I'm too young to know a good book, but It's all about a boy who has to cope with living with his friend when his mother and sister is hurt in a car crash. It will never leave my mind.

help for the wounded soul

I read this book in middle school and it has never left my memory. This book looks at a young boy as he tries to cope with the death of his mother and sister who were killed in a car crash on their way home from his swimming meet. This book looks at grief in pratical terms, a lense in which we unconciously fail to see grif and suffering through. I would recomend this book to any child who has lost someone!
