Book Summary |
 |
Hannah's grandpa has lived with Hannah and her mother since Hannah was two years old. One day while she is at school, Grandpa has a stroke. Hannah is able to visit him in the hospital and talks to him even though he is in a coma. With her mother's help, Hannah learns how to cope with her feelings while her grandfather is sick and when he eventually dies. This thoughtful book offers young readers a realistic look at loving--and--losing--someone they care deeply about.
