Great Book!

[Bea Ishler <bishler@MCPSS.COM>]

I have just finished reading a book that I think would be great in any HS
collection.  "The Parting Gift" by Ben Erickson.  It tells of a 17 year old
boy who meets an 84 year old man via meals on wheels and ends up helping the
man write his memoirs.  There are great flashbacks to various events in the
man's life. There is no vulgar language, no sex, no violence.  It is better
than "Tuesdays with Morrie".  Time-Warner is the pub.
