A warm and heartfelt story about Dani's love for her dad and her friendship with Ella. It's a story about sorrow and joy--and how life really is. It's the second-to-last day of school and Dani's so happy she could write a book about it! In fact, that's exactly what she's done, although it's not quite finished yet. Now the book is in her backpack with all the other things she has to take home before the summer break. But then Dani gets some bad news. How will she ever be happy again? Sometimes a good friend is all you need to make your heart start laughing.

A firm favorite - doesn't try to saccharine the tough bits that life deals children and shows how love and community give a sense of continuity when things go wrong
