This book is highly recommended on all the reading lists.
Like many of the Young Adult novels, it deals with some very difficult issues.
Being a teenager is hard enough without losing a parent and then moving to the other side of the country as well.
Another great review!

Mina,
I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. It was unfortunate that she passed away as soon as you came back to Canada. You were very lucky to see her that one last time.
My grandmother died the same year my daughter was born.
I still use different sayings she would use.
Grandma was very superstitious. When I buy new shoes, I never put the box on the table.
You will never get over the loss of your grandmother but you will always have memories of those special times with her.
My sympathies,
Catherine
