They were just giving them away, and I didn't even bother to read the summary before I dove into it. A few hours later I was detailing the events to my mother since I had finally stopped crying. I feel extremely lucky to have been given such a wonderful work! sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Twelve-year-old Fern feels invisible in her family, where grumpy eighteen-year-old Sarah is working at the family restaurant, fourteen-year-old Holden is struggling with school bullies and his emerging homosexuality, and adorable, three-year-old Charlie is always the center of attention, and when tragedy strikes, the fragile bond holding the family together is stretched almost to the breaking point.

I'm not 100% opposed to death in children's fiction, obviously. When I think about [b:Bridge to Terabithia|2839|Bridge to Terabithia|Katherine Paterson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327880087s/2839.jpg|2237401], for example, I see it as a classic that I would recommend to almost any eleven- or twelve-year-old kid. What's the difference between BTT and SYAH? BTT is mostly about friendship and imagination and ends tragically. SYAH is tragic almost the whole way through.
A few more things about this book:
1. Not only was the loss of three-year-old Charlie terrible to read about, but the relationship between the main character, twelve-year-old Fern, and her mother was upsetting, too. While the Charlie issue is handled in a way that hopefully gives young readers closure at the end, the distant mom thing didn't get resolved. Fern's mom isn't abusive or anything, she just doesn't pay much attention to Fern, which really hurts Fern. Why is Fern's mom cold to Fern? We never really know, though the implication is that Fern is just a classic middle child who's always overlooked by everyone. Sad.
2. I really liked the plot about Fern's gay 14-year-old brother Holden. His whole journey with coming out, as witnessed by Fern, felt very authentic and, in the end, triumphant.
3. I might have liked this more if I'd read it instead of listening to the audiobook. The narrator was good, but it's really hard to listen to/read in a mock-sob for twenty chapters.
