Stars 4/5
My Jasper June by Laurel Snyder
This was a very heart touching book that talks about some hard issues including abuse, neglect, depression, grief and even death but it is definitely worth the read. The story follows Leah, a young girl who recently lost her brother and is not only trying to cope with her own issues regarding his death but a mom and dad that are devastated mentally. Leah finds out that she will not be going to camp this summer and so she tries to fill her day with things to do until she meets Jasper, a young girl that is new in town. They soon become fast friends but both girls are plagued with things from the past. I don't want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it.
