(2) 4-6 Life isn't easy for fourth grader Benny Barrows. His best friend has moved away, his brother George is autistic, and--worst of all--his father has been in a terrible accident for which Benny feels responsible. How Benny processes these challenges is the heart and soul of this quiet story. McGovern's observations about ordinary-seeming life and small acts of kindness and forgiveness are perceptive.
