Heartbreaking book about loss, first loves, sibling rivalry and fitting in. Cedar Lee has lost two of the people who she holds most dear, her Dad and her brother Ben. The 12 year old is then moved to her Mom's old home town to regroup for the summer with her remaining family. Cedar finds herself drawn to a boy riding his bike down the street with what seems to be, no care in the world. With the help of this new friend, Cedar struggles to put the pieces back together of her life while learning about what she, as a young girl, wants out of life.
Wonderful read for middle schoolers and really any age.
