(2) 4-6 Cally's fifth grade classroom enrolls in a hospice-benefiting "sponsored silence"--and she keeps the silence. New neighbor Sam, blind and mostly deaf, and a dog named Homeless that appears with her dead mother's ghost help Cally say what she needs to, with or without words. Lean's rewarding first novel stands out for its clean, evocative prose and genuine characters.
