(4) YA Sixteen-year-old Connelly knows that her father died, but she's clueless about how. Sensitive to her mother's feelings, she stopped asking; however, an unlikely friendship revives her curiosity. Through a bond with Jeremy, who also seeks comfort, she gains strength to find the truth. Though a plethora of fairy-tale metaphors grows a little tiring, the story is effective in its portrayal of emotions.
