OLDER FICTION
Vande Velde, Vivian

Remembering Raquel

(2) YA Was it suicide or an accident--or was ninth-grader Raquel Falcone pushed into traffic? In shifting narration, Raquel's friends, family, and acquaintances mull over her death. Vande Velde mixes in snippets from Raquel's blog, the police report, and the school custodian's notes. Together, these bits and pieces yield a poignant portrait of a kindhearted and self-sufficient young woman.
