Description

Patricia MacLachlan, beloved author of the Newbery Medal-winning Sarah, Plain and Tall, has crafted another lyrical and touching novel for young readers about finding hope after the loss of a loved one. Now in paperback, this short, moving novel received four starred reviews. This middle grade novel is an excellent choice for tween readers in grades 5 to 6, especially during homeschooling. It's a fun way to keep your child entertained and engaged while not in the classroom.

Declan O'Brien always had a gentle word to share, odd phrases he liked to repeat, and songs to sing while he played basketball. His favorite song was "Dona Nobis Pacem," "Grant Us Peace." His family loved him deeply and always knew they were loved in return.

But a terrible accident one day changes their lives forever, and Fiona and Finn O'Brien are left without a father. Their mother is at a loss. What words are there to guide them through such overwhelming grief?

At the suggestion of their friend Luke, Fiona and Finn volunteer at an animal rescue shelter, where they meet two sweet dogs who are in need of comfort, too. Perhaps with time, patience, and their father's gentle words in their hearts, hope will spark once more.

Two children, one animal shelter, and the words that guide them home.

Dealing with Grief: After a terrible accident, Fiona and Finn must navigate life without their father, holding on to the memories and gentle words he left behind.
An Animal Rescue Story: The siblings find purpose at a local animal shelter, where they meet Emma, a dog who is also grieving the loss of her person.
The Power of Music: Finn discovers that his father's favorite song, "Dona Nobis Pacem," has a special power to connect with the animals and heal a broken heart.
Finding Hope: A quiet, lyrical novel that shows how kindness--to animals and to each other--can be the first step toward letting the light back in.
