(4) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Michael is looking forward to another summer on his grandparents' farm. But when his grandfather dies suddenly, Michael's life is thrown into crisis. His parents are busy, he's struggling with math--only his artistic talents keep him afloat. Cotten approaches grief realistically, but stilted dialogue and a too-abrupt resolution make for an awkward debut novel.
