(4) YA In the midst of her own adolescent rebellion, fourteen-year-old Rachel discovers a journal written by her older brother Jake, who died when she was seven. Although Rachel is rather cryptic herself and Jake's entries are not believably those of a teenage boy, the two together form a progressive narrative that leaves readers rooting for their climactic self-realizations.
