(3) 4-6 After her father's death, thirteen-year-old Sierra finds comfort in her imaginary conversations with Abraham Lincoln, whom she and her father enjoyed studying together. Well-developed characters and breezy writing help make the offbeat premise work, and humorous scenes with Sierra's Jewish and Cuban family help leaven the novel's poignant and, at times, heart-wrenching depiction of grief.
Reviewer: Tanya D. Auger
