(3) 4-6 When her mother dies, eighth-grader Corinna teems with sadness and overpowering emotion: worry for her father, anger at the doctors, resentment toward those who offer guidance, and frustration with her friends' self-absorbed indifference. Geithner sensitively probes the pitfalls and small triumphs of grief as an unexpected discovery allows Corinna both to better know her mother and also to continue to live.
