Description

“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.
