Another middle-grade novel that includes a journey in a search for meaning after grief, Caroline Gertlerâs book is also about the beauty of self-discovery. In a search for her father (and his artwork) the main character Georgia finally finds herself...as well as healing, hope, and family. In the end, Georgia learns that âhomeâ is where she belongs, with the people who love her no matter what. A story not only about grief but about unconditional love, Gertlerâs novel is a lovely one for those wondering about a lost parent.
From Linda's list on childrenâs books about grief and not facing it alone.
This book is quieter than the other books on this list, but I consider it a âfunâ grief book for a few reasons. First, itâs set in New York City and features the Met. Since the vast majority of readers presumably didnât grow up there, the unique setting alone makes the book an enjoyable read. But I also love that the main character, Georgia, gets drawn into a mystery while trying to cope with the loss of her father, a well-known artist who left behind an incomplete series of works, one of which may have included Georgia as the subject.âŚ
