Great Book but very sad

Review by MZN31

This is a great book. It is about a boy named Buddy, Buddy's house cleaner dies and when he goes to school he discovers one kid who's mom was his house cleaner. Everyone makes fun of Sammy the kid who's mom died, Buddy want's to stick up for Sammy but doesn't know what to do. This is a great book for kids that like sad story's, if you don't like sad story's do not read this book.

This was a very sad book. Do not read if you are very sensitive.

Parent Guide

Ten-year-old Sam isn’t supposed to know that their family’s house cleaner has died in a car accident, and keeping the secret makes things hard for him at school. He can't tell anyone why the new boy -- Laura's son – acts so strangely, so nobody understands why Sam sticks up for Buddy when the other boys tease him. Least of all, Sam's best friend, Alex.
