MID: need books about death

[Johanna Halbeisen <johanna@MASSED.NET>]

I have a fourth grader who lost her older sister to sudden illness
about two years ago.  Since then she has been asking for books about
death and dying.  She has read everything I could find (via ILL) that
was remotely related and geared to elementary school age.  Today she
asked me for more.  I've run out of titles, fiction or nonfiction.
So what to do?  Come to LM_NET, of course.  What titles can you
recommend about dealing with grief for elementary and middle school?
Fiction is great too (she's read Terabithia, Mick Hart, Taste of
Blackberries).  Especially welcome are stories of dealing with a
sibling's death.

Many thanks!!
Johanna
