Jones series—just right for readers of Frindle, Love That Dog, The Lemonade War, and other classic young middle grade favorites. Kids aren’t supposed to die. Phoebe’s brother, Mick, was one of the funniest, coolest kids you’d ever meet—the kid who made you laugh until your stomach hurt, even if you were mad at him.

He was the kid you’d want to be friends with. So how can he be gone? And how will Phoebe’s family survive without him? Winner of 12 State Awards!
