Finding Grace di Daphne Greer
Finding Grace opens with 13-year old Grace and her 28-year old sister Dotty talking in their beds at a Belgian boarding school. Dotty, who has Down’s Syndrome, is having difficulty sleeping, so Grace soothes her sister with butterfly kisses. As she closes her eyes, Dotty says with a smile, “Be back soon.” When Grace awakens, she realizes that it was all a dream. Dotty is dead. Now, Grace must learn who she is and how to live without her loved one by her side. rel="nofollow" target="_top">...more… (altro)
Twelve-year-old Jacob Mosher, son of an alcoholic mother and a recently deceased father, is sent from big city Ontario to rural Nova Scotia to spend the summer with aging grand-parents he just learned he had.
His grandparents are odd (to say the least), there are family secrets, and Jacob is suffering culture shock, in addition to navigating this last pre-teen year.
It’s an eventful summer and a touching story of family affection.

Such a great story! Daphne Greer gives a great voice to her young hero, Max, but it's his special needs brother, Duncan, who steals the show with his astute observations and hilarious comments. A heartwarming and funny book!
