Reviews

Grade 3-5?Nine-year-old April begins a diary as a means of accepting the changes in her life after a fire destroys the home she shared with her mother and grandmother. Readers see the child through bad days, fears, her classmates' reactions, and recovery tactics and learn of the steps a school psychologist employs to help her reconstruct her shattered life. Full-page, realistic paintings in muted colors capture emotions and lend immediacy to the bibliotherapeutic text. Guidelines for dealing with home fires are appended.?Virginia Opocensky, formerly at Lincoln City Libraries, NE
