I loved thi novel ever since i read it. It was a terrific book that teaches about bike safety. It my have a word in it that many parents do not want their kids to repeat, (but the word isn't that bad). Well besides that i really think it's a good book and it made me think how i should be more careful about bike safety since i don't usually wear a helmet when riding a bike. But since i read that book it got me to rethink about safety. So i would recomend this book to every person out there, and i am only and 11 years old. And since i am only 11 and i liked the book i bet all of you will like it too!

A very good book
This book is very good for young students because it deals with a sensitive issue, that is death, in a way that students can cope with the concept. Even though I found this book sad, I couldn't help laughing through it because the little girl remembers funny stories about her brother that has died and in remembering him.. her and her family are able to heal.

Great Story!
I first read this book in a reading group at school and I fell in love with it. It is a very sad story but it also talks about the good memories the characters had with the boy that died. this book is so heartwarming. everyone must read this.
