When Friendship Followed Me Home by Paul GriffinMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the story of Ben, a pre-teen who has seen way too much tragedy in his life, and Halley, an eternally optimistic girl who is facing one of life's greatest challenges. Throw in a dog, a few of life's really big issues, and a loving family and you this beautiful, beautiful book.
I generally like to review books as soon as I've read them, but I need to let this one sit with me for a while. The ending is heartfelt and sad, yet somehow a little bit hopeful too. This book's strength was the honest way it dealt with difficult issues, and mined them to just the right depth for a middle grade reader.
