When Zack's younger sister dies in a tragic accident, his family
moves to a small town in the Northwest to try and heal from all the
pain. Eleven-year-old Zack blames himself for his sister's death,
and he struggles to find any comfort in his new surroundings. Vista
Point is home to many mysterious landmarks: The great domed Tower
casts inscrutable shadows, and what is the cryptic message in its
ceiling medallion? There are several hidden watering holes and even
a secret cave in the woods with messages written on its walls.
Zack, at first, feels lost in Vista Point. Until he meets Ann, a
girl who lives in the area and shows Zack all the special places to
be discovered. But there's something that seems a bit strange about
Ann-and perhaps a secret she is keeping from him. With emotional
depth, an unforgettable setting, and a winning cast of characters,
this masterful novel thoughtfully explores the grieving process,
and how a season of pain can evolve into a summer of healing.
Writing on the pages of her journal, Nur, a teenage girl in Canada,
charts the onset and advance of her mother's cancer. Nur watches
her mother's body begin to shrink, and her mood begin to darken.
And, when family and friends begin to encroach, Nur must face the
prospect of her mother's looming death. "She wrapped her arms
around me and said, "Nur! I know. I don't want to go. But all I can
do is keep trusting in Allah. Nur, I will always be with you! My
love and advice will always be with you to guide you in the right
direction." She patted my heart. "They are forever sealed inside
this little place" Nur bears the crushing loss and finds her
adolescent life more demanding and complex. But with the legacy of
her mother's love, her family's support, and the guidance of her
faith, she manages to overcome the searing pain and use her new
found strength to bring joy in to the lives of others. Showing them
that after death our wings can expand.
This newly revised edition of the book is designed for adult
caregivers to read to surviving youngsters following a suicidal
death. The story allows individuals an opportunity to recognize
normal grieving symptoms and to identify various interventions to
promote healthy ways of coping with the death of a special person.
Although the language used in the book is simplistic enough to be
read along with children and ultimately stimulating family
discussion, it can be beneficial to all who have been tragically
devastated by suicide. It is recommended for this book to be
utilized in conjunction with therapy.
As her grandmother's health declines, a young girl begins to
lovingly take the lead in their cozy shared autumn traditions.
Poetic prose paired with evocative illustrations by Mexican
illustrator Claudia Navarro make for a beautiful celebration of
life and a gentle introduction to the death of a loved one.
"The Grief Bubble" is a special workbook for children ages 6 and
older who have experienced the death of someone special. The
interactive format invites them to find expression for their
thoughts and feelings, encouraging the exploration of their grief.
A useful tool for parents, counselors, educators and other caring
adults supporting children in grief.
White Pine Award 2022 - Shortlisted During a sweltering summer,
Dills must come to terms with a horrific crime and the parent he
loves who committed it. Dills and his mom have returned to
Hamilton, her hometown, hoping to leave the horrors of Windsor
behind. But it's impossible to escape the echoes of tragedy, and
trouble always follows trouble. When Dills hurts a new classmate,
it comes out in court that he was in the Windsor High library when
the shooter came in. But he won't talk about what he saw, what he
still sees whenever he closes his eyes. He can't. He definitely
can't tell anyone that the Windsor Shooter is his stepfather,
Jesse, that Jesse can speak into his mind from hundreds of
kilometres away, and that Dills still loves him even though he
committed an unspeakable crime.
When one girl's best friend is her dead brother's ghost, romance can be tricky. Perfect for fans of John Green and Nicola Yoon.
Rose Asher believes in ghosts. She should, since she has one for a best friend: Logan, her annoying, Netflix-addicted brother, who is forever stuck at fifteen. But Rose is growing up, and when an old friend moves back to Laguna Canyon and appears in her drama class, things get complicated. Jamie Aldridge is charming, confident, and a painful reminder of the life Rose has been missing out on since her brother's death. She watches as Jamie easily rejoins their former friends--a group of magnificently silly theater nerds--while avoiding her so intensely that it must be deliberate.
Yet when the two of them unexpectedly cross paths, Rose learns that Jamie has a secret of his own, one that changes everything. Rose finds herself drawn back into her old life--and to Jamie. But she quickly starts to suspect that he isn't telling her the whole truth.
All Rose knows is that it's becoming harder to choose between the boy who makes her feel alive and the brother she isn't ready to lose.
When a girl with a troubled history of finding dead bodies
investigates the murder of her ex, she uncovers a plot to put
herself---and everyone she loves---on the list of who's next. Flora
Calhoun has a reputation for sticking her nose where it doesn't
belong. After stumbling upon a classmate's body years ago, the
trauma of that discovery and the police's failure to find the
killer has haunted her ever since. One night, she gets a midnight
text from Ava McQueen, the beautiful girl who had ignited Flora's
heart last summer, then never spoke to her again. Just in time to
witness Ava's death from a gunshot wound, Flora is set on a path of
rage and vengeance for all the dead girls whose killer is never
found. Her tunnel-visioned sleuthing leads to valuable clues about
a shocking conspiracy involving her school and beyond, but also
earns her sinister threats from the murderer. She has a choice---to
give up the hunt for answers, or keep digging and risk her loved
ones' lives. Either way, Flora will regret the consequences. Who's
next on the killer's list?
