The central character is 10 year old Jamie and through him we see how the whole family is coping (or not) after the death of one of his sisters. The story captures the depth of feeling brilliantly and you really 'live' it along with Jamie, cheering him on one minute and willing him to do the right thing in another. However, even though it has a potentially sombre subject matter it's definitely not depressing. Because of that straightforward commonsense attitude children have it's actually quite humorous. It's rare I laugh out loud when reading a book but I did at this. It captures childhood remarkably well with a good story that tackles grief, but also acceptance, prejudice, bullying, family loyalty and friendship. A young adult novel that is probably aimed at the over ten's, but definitely recommended for adults because there is so much to connect with, especially with the added bonus of life experience.
