Annie is finishing high school and has reached the point in her life that her sister, Mog, had reached when she was killed. Annie struggles with how she will go forward without having Mog's footprints to follow. She has trouble finding the comfort and support that she needs from her family. However, she is able to deal with her thoughts and fears as she reaches out to Harriet Jeffers, a therapist. I thought the book was great. Rodowsky does a fabulous job describing the feelings and thoughts of the characters. It was very easy to get interested in, and I felt like I knew the characters personally. It has a genuine feel for how one can handle grief so differently from others. NOTE TO TEACHERS: This is an ALA Notable Book and would be appropriate for middle school or high school students.

Annie must come to grips with the loss of her older sister and her mother's denial that Mog is gone. Finally, a book for young adults that is not hopeless and dreadful. Real issues, real struggles, real people yet "Dysfunctional Families in their Various and Nefarious Forms" isn't the theme of the book.

I like to read stories that tell about people's problems & how they get over them. This book is a good example of that kind of story. Annie's sister, Mog, was murdered two years ago. Suddenly Annie realizes that she has been following in Mog's foot-steps. Mog never graduated from high school. Annie is now a senior and doesn't know what she is going to do now. Things get so stressful that Annie has to seek for help.

Remembering Mog was a great story about a family who suffered from a terrible loss. In the story, Mog -an outgoung teenager- gets murdered on the night before her high school graduation. The story tells how Mog's family deals with her death and how they learn to remember her like the way they did before her death. I thought that this was a great book because it taught me to love and care for everyone. You never know when something terrible will happen. This book is a great book for all readers and I'd suggest for anyone to read it.

This book was really great. It really shows that you even though smeone died you have to let it go. I just had a recent death in my family and this book helped me let go of it.

In the book Remembering Mog by Colby Rodowsky, it's mainly about loosing a love one and how that affected their life. This book is also about making their own choices. In this book, a girl named Annie just lost her older sister. She couldn't stop thinking about what happened to her. Later on, she had to make her own choices for what she think is best for her. I recommend this book to those who had lost a loved one, especially when they're close to each other. This book might help that person to how to forget that loved one.
