The Reminder by Rune Michaels - OPTIONAL


Michaels, Rune The Reminder, 182 p. Atheneum (Simon), 2008.

MS - OPTIONAL

Daisy's mom a couple of years ago, when her little brother was only two. Daze hasn't dealt well with the death and she is afraid that she is forgetting Mom and that Ryan will never remember her. Then one day she hears her Dad talking to Mom and when Daze investigates, she finds something really strange - something that may help her hold onto her mom forever.

Ms. Michaels has given us a unique way to look at death and grief. It doesn't always read smoothly and I am afraid that even that the cutting edge technology distracts from the novel's deeper meaning.
