"Austin's visit to his grandmother's is the first since Grandpa died. Austin notices Grandpa's things but feels the emptiness of his absence. This spare story vividly captures the emotions of painful times and shows how they ease with sharing and remembering. Boy and grandfather were close, but boy and grandmother seem destined to be just as close, with Grandpa's memory to bind them. Poignant and perceptive, this has impressive resonance, and readers won't easily shed its warm afterglow."--(starred) Booklist.

From the Inside Flap:
It?s the first summer after Austin?s grandfather has died and he?s not sure how much he?ll enjoy his visit to the farm with just his grandmother for company, especially since this was the summer his grandfather was going to teach him to fly-fish. Everything feels different, and without Grandpa, it seems as though traditions are lost. But with a string of beads and a spur-of-the-moment fishing trip, Austin and his grandmother learn how to keep memories of Grandpa alive?and begin some new traditions of their own.
