INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Saunders, Kate

The Land of Neverendings

(2) 4-6 After her sister Holly's death, Emily is visited by inhabitants of Smockeroon, the fantasyland Emily had created for Holly where toys came to life. This unusual grief narrative excels at re-creating imaginative play with running jokes, silly wordplay, absurdity, and intensity. The story is wise in the ways of loss as Emily discovers that the route through grief lies in engaging with the world.
