Ilustration To Books Love, Aubrey
"I had everything I needed to run a household: a house, food, and a new family. From now on it would just be me and Sammy–the two of us, and no one else." A tragic accident has turned eleven-year-old Aubrey’s world upside down. Starting a new life all alone, Aubrey has everything she thinks she needs: SpaghettiOs and Sammy, her new pet fish. She cannot talk about what happened to her. Writing letters is the only thing that feels right to Aubrey, even if no one ever reads them. With the aid of her loving grandmother and new friends, Aubrey learns that she is not alone, and gradually, she finds the words to express feelings that once seemed impossible to describe. The healing powers of friendship, love, and memory help Aubrey take her first steps toward the future. Readers will care for Aubrey from page one and will watch her grow until the very end, when she has to make one of the biggest decisions of her life. Love, Aubrey is devastating, brave, honest, funny, and hopeful, and it introduces a remarkable new writer, Suzanne LaFleur. No matter how old you are, this book is not to be missed.Rating Containing Books Love, Aubrey

Love, Aubrey focuses on eleven year old Aubrey, who lost her father and younger sister, Savannah, in a car accident earlier in the year. Aubrey's mom unable to function or deal with her grief left Aubrey. Aubrey is left to fend for herself until her grandma shows up at the door one day. Love, Aubrey is about getting unstuck from the terrible moments in your life and moving forward even if it's really really hard and painful. Even though Aubrey is resistant to leave her home in Virginia and moveI loved this book. I know it was written for children and it's written from a child's viewpoint but that's probably why I liked it. It is about loss and grief but it is so sweet and sad since it is seen through the eyes of a child. I cried at several points throughout this book. I would recommend it to any adult to give to a child who is going through loss.
Life cant get any worse for eleven year old Aubrey, or can it? After a devastating car accident claims the lives of Aubreys dad and seven year old sister, Savannah, Aubrey and her mom, overwhelmed with guilt and sorrow, struggle to deal with the tragedy. Imagine Aubreys surprise one evening when she realizes her mother, unable to cope with the enormity of her loss, has abandoned her. Finally cognizant of her daughters neglect and Aubreys fragile emotional state, Aubreys grandmother takes her
Oh dear, where to begin with this book? Love, Aubrey wrenched out my heart and stomped on it. But in a good way. I started it in the late afternoon/early evening and I couldn't bear to put it down. By 1am the following morning, I had finished it and was bawling like a baby in my bed. Actually sobbing big fat tears. So be warned! This one is a weep-inducing book.Before I started reading this book, I knew it was going to be sad. But I thought that 11 year old Aubrey would be on her own throughout

Have you ever read a book that is, in every way, perfect? Have you ever read a book conveying a character so well that you feel as if you know them? Thats how I felt after that first delicious read of Love, Aubrey. Yes, my first time. But not my last. I live with my mom, dad, and brother. I cant count how many times I have rolled my eyes at my dad, stuck out my tongue at my brother, or given my mom the silent treatment. But after I read Love, Aubrey, I remembered how wonderful it feels when I
Contains spoilers...................I absolutely LOVED Love, Aubrey. It was heartbreaking and funny and true to life. Aubrey was like a real ten year old girl trying to take care of herself when everything she has known is gone. Gram was compassionate, loving, no nonsense, and able to reach out for Aubrey in the midst of her own pain and grief. You get to be there with Aubrey as she starts to heal, one minute at a time. I don't give five stars casually, but this one is it. The one character I
