Publisher Comments:
How could someone like Mick die? He was the kid who freaked out his mom by putting a ceramic eye in a defrosted chicken, the kid who did a wild dance in front of the whole school--and the kid who, if only he had worn his bicycle helmet, would still be alive today. But now Phoebe Harte's twelve-year-old brother is gone, and Phoebe's world has turned upside down. With her trademark candor and compassion, beloved middle-grade writer Barbara Park tells how Phoebe copes with her painful loss in this story filled with sadness, humor--and hope. Chosen by Publishers Weekly as one of their Best Books of 1996.
Review:
"A full-fledged and fully convincing drama" (Publishers Weekly).

A very touching book. A great author is all you need to make a story like this great, and Barbara Park was the perfect author to write this. It was smart to make this a young reader level, since thats mostly the audience she wanted. The theme is simple: Wear a helmet when you ride a bike, or wear the sorrow and guilt for the people you love. A winner!
