"Each Little Bird That Sings" by Deborah Wiles
You know a book is good if you cry while reading it. I mean like really, truly sob. Even if you don't like to cry in books, you should read this one. Comfort Snowberger, who is our main character (All of the characters in this book have funny and unique names -- that's one of the coolest parts), lives in a funeral home. It's true -- her family runs a funeral business. She thinks she knows how to deal with death. But does she really? Please (please, please, please) read the book to find out!
Appropriate for: advanced young readers and teens
Rating: Must read
oooh, that looks like a really good one! My boys don't like reading any book with a medal and a dog on the cover, because they're sure the dog will die in the end. I'll have to find a way to trick them into this one though - maybe I'll put on a book sock and just start reading to them!!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your short yet meaningful synopses - what a great resource for kids and grown-ups alike - thanks!
The title sounds very different from what you say about the story.
ReplyDeleteDo I really want to cry? Well, I am now curious and want to read the book.
