Bad News

About the Book

THIS BOOK TELLS THE STORY OF A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL, WHO LOST HER AUNT STEPHANIE, WHOM SHE HAD SPENT ALOT OF TIME WITH. AS ADULTS WE REALLY DON'T REALIZE THE FEELINGS THAT THEY HAVE. SHE WROTE THIS AS A SCHOOL PROJECT AND I THOUGHT HER CHOICE OF SUBJECTS TO WRITE, SHOWS THE IMPACT ON CHILDREN. HER FEELINGS ARE VERY POWERFUL AND I WAS VERY SURPRISED WHEN I READ IT. I THOUGHT THAT THIS MIGHT HELP OTHER FAMILIES WHEN THEY ARE DEALING WITH DEATH AND YOU DON'T THINK THEY HAVE THE SAME EMOTIONS AS ADULTS. JOAN CRAVEN
