For readers who love The Thing About Jellyfish and Counting By 7s, Lolo´s Light is a deeply honest middle grade novel about grief, redemption, and life as a kid facing both.
This is a truth about growing up: Once in your life, sometime after your first memory but before you can drive a car, something is going to happen to you that doesn´t happen to anyone else you know. It might be something good. It might be something bad, or special, or funny, or shocking. For Millie, it´s something really sad. Lolo, her neighbors´ infant daughter, dies unexpectedly, suddenly, inexplicably, on the night Millie babysits.
It´s not Millie´s fault. There´s nothing she could have done. And there´s nothing she can do now.
So how does she go on?
She does what you´ll do. She finds her way.
This poignant and profound coming-of-age story portrays a tragic experience of responsibility and its poisonous flip side: guilt. Emotional and important, this is an honest and empathetic portrait of a girl at her most vulnerable—a mess of grief, love, and ultimately, acceptance—who must reckon with those most difficult of demons: death . . . and life.
A GREAT WAY TO UNDERSTAND DIFFICULT FEELINGS: Coming to terms with one´s responsibility for things both our fault and not is a universal experience that can be difficult to process, particularly when grief is involved. Millie offers a great blueprint for young readers who don´t understand the surrounding emotions and need help working through them.
A MAIN CHARACTER KIDS WILL LOVE: Millie makes mistakes as she navigates grief. It´s often not pretty, but it is very relatable. The author´s honest portrayal of this experience will resonate with young readers, whether grieving or not.
Perfect for:
Middle grade readers
Educators and librarians
Parents looking for books on loss or grief
