The Question of Miracles

234 pp. | Houghton | February, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-544-33464-9 $16.99
(2) 4-6 Sixth grader Iris seeks to make sense of her friend Sarah's death in a car accident. When Iris discovers that her new friend Boris was a "miracle baby," she fixates on the concept of miracles; ultimately, it's the solace of friendship that helps Iris pull through. Arnold tackles tough questions gently, with small, focused effects. Iris's growth is slightly shaky and provisional--in other words, realistic.
