OLDER FICTION
Avery, Tom

My Brother's Shadow

(2) YA Ever since discovering her older brother dead in his bedroom, Kaia speaks to no one. When an unspeaking, ragged "wild child" appears at school, Kaia befriends him; gradually, his companionship brings back her own emotional warmth and engagement. Kaia tells her story through a series of ostensible journal entries; her clean, uncluttered mode of expression makes this British import a quick and accessible read.
