Title: Disturbing, but worth reading if your child is mature enough
Review: This wonderful book outshines Creech's later work. The book has many disturbing elements -- a missing parent who turns out to be dead, for example (to give away the plot) -- but it's tastefully and beautifully written. I can't recommend it highly enough, just as I can't recommend strongly enough that your child be emotionally ready to read the material.
