Time to let go, 1990
by Lurlene McDaniel
        This is different than the other McDaniel titles I have read.
 In the others you read in agony, waiting for someone to die.  In
this one the story opens with Erin having headaches.  They appear to
stem from the death of her sister the previous year.  This is the
story of a girl (and her parents) coming to grips with the death of a
sister.  This story rang home to me, having had a brother die also.
It is a touching story of friendship, family relationships, and
counselling.  The only criticism I have of it is that it does wrap up
a little too neat.  I don't think any student below a mature 6th
grader would like this 162 page book.
