Good morning all,
I was asked to post a hit on this subject, sorry it's taken me so long
to respond. Thank you all for your ideas.
My original question was for a book for a nine-year-old girl who has a
sibling with a serious illness and the 9-yr-old is feeling very left
out. I got several suggestions and I also looked on Titlewave and I am
posting those titles as well.
Summer of the Swans by Betsy Byars is about a child with a mentally
challenged brother who gets lost. She realizes that she had been jealous
of him but really loved him. Very poignant.
Drums Girls and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick... only if they are
a good reader... This is a middle school book about a boy whose brother
is diagnosed with cancer
Dancing with Katya by Dori Chaconas
Depending on her reading level, Ida B is a great book dealing with a
mom's serious illness and the loss of prized "friends".
