Here Lies Linc

(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Lincoln has grown up next to Iowa's Oakland Cemetery with his "kind of unusual" mom, a professor specializing in burial customs. His first junior high assignment is to research one of the cemetery's graves. Ray's characters are quirky and relatable, with genuine emotions; Linc, in particular, is an earnest, self-effacing narrator trying to both fit in and do the right thing.
