(1) YA Seventh grader Bridget nearly died in an accident when she was eight. A nurse's comment that she "must have been put on this earth for a reason" confounds her still; Bridget's eventual, happy discovery of that reason is believable and moving. Stead's intricately crafted story explores various configurations of love and friendship. This astonishingly profound novel is not your average middle-school friendship tale.
