OLDER FICTION
Rupp, Rebecca

After Eli

(2) YA Danny is eleven when his older brother Eli, both a best friend and mentor, is killed in Iraq. Now it's the summer after freshman year, and Danny falls in love, makes new friendships, finds himself, and begins to accept Eli's death. There's wisdom aplenty imparted here, but there's humor, too, in this profound yet unpretentious story with a resilient, relatable protagonist.
