Waiting for Sarah

Waiting for Sarah is about a 17-year-old boy named Mark. Mark loses his parents and his 10-year-old sister in a car accident. After this accident Mark is really mad and grumpy. It seems like he is mad at the world, like the world was responsible for his parents and his sister dieing. Than one day while at school Mark meets a girl named Sarah and she is a really peppy girl. The thing about Sarah he doesn't know is that she was murdered twenty years before. I really liked this book. It is probily on of the best books I have ever read. I like this book because, it has a really interesting topic. The ending wasn't so good to me because, after a while a while he barly ever gets to see Sarah very often. I really like this book and i would incourage other people to read it!

THe BEST boOk EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really love this book! I usually read a lot and of all the books I've ever read, this is my favourite of all! The beginning few chapters might not be that exciting, but as soon as you read about Sarah, it becomes a very intriguing story. A huge secret about Sarah is revealed at about the middle of the book, and it was impossible to put it down from then on! You should really read this, you won't regret it!

Stunning Book!

Waiting for Sarah was an amazing read! Mike was in an accident that killed his family and made him lose the lower part of his legs. His only family is his aunt. After a LONG absence from school, he returns. He is commisioned to make a project about the history of his school and town. While doing this, he meets a girl named Sarah. He learns a heart-wrenching secret about Sarah, and sets out to give her the peace she needs.I was very impressed by James Heneghan's description of the Mike's grief. This is a stunning book, I reccomend it to males and females, 12+!!!!
