See You At Harry's by Jo Knowles

Interest Level: YA
Reading Level: 4.4
Lexile: 600HL
Genre: Realistic Fiction

 Twelve year old Fern feels invisible. Mom is busy with Fern's baby brother, Charlie, the house or the family restaurant. Eighteen year old, Sarah is working in the family restaurant during her gap year and being a major grump. Fourteen year old Holden is being bullied at school and three year old Charlie is the center of the universe. But then tragedy strikes- and Fern feels not only more alone than ever, but also responsible for the accident that has wrenched her family apart. 

 I cried. I laughed. I LOVE this book. Having lost a sibling, I found this story very easy to relate to. I highly recommend this book to middle school students and into adulthood.
