4.0 out of 5 stars Nobody's Fault, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Nobody's Fault (Hardcover)

I thought this book was wonderful, because it has a good message for young adults. I read this book quite awhile ago, and it made me cry, but it also made me smile. This book brings back memories of what it's like to have an obnoxious brother, but it also teaches young people an important lesson on death and not blaming oneself for it. I would recommend this book to young teenagers as good reading material.

4.0 out of 5 stars Coping w/death for pre-teen and teens, April 22, 2007

By	D. Long "Mother of 5" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 26-year-old found out that this was available through Amazon and asked me to buy it with my next order. I have 5 children and once one of them read it, it was read by all of my other children. Going from elementary to high school, they experienced the death of schoolmates and this proved to be the book that helped them cope with these experiences. I also read it when they were young. It is written at about a 4th grade level, making it highly readable for all young children (9+)who may be coping with the death of a family member, friend, or schoolmate, especially those who might be dealing with "It's my fault". The fact that my daughter is asking for a copy, 15 years after reading it in 6th grade, attests to its emotional power, even though the storyline and the vocablary are quite simple. The rating I gave it is based on this appeal.
