Synopsis

Austin's visit to his grandmother's is the first since Grandpa died. Austin

notices Grandpa's things but feels the emptiness of his absence. This spare

story vividly captures the emotions of painful times and shows how they ease

with sharing and remembering. Boy and grandfather were close, but boy and

grandmother seem destined to be just as close, with Grandpa's memory to bind

them. Poignant and perceptive, this has impressive resonance, and readers won't

easily shed its warm afterglow.'--(starred) Booklist.
