Summary: Reality
Review: I thought this book was really good. It really had real life events and gave people more to love about their family and friends. Rachel had figured out how much her grandfather ment to her a little to late. When I read this book it made me feel like I shouldn't treat my family so bad. I also like how Rachel spent more time with her grandfather when he was dying instead of thinking of herself and being with Lewis.

Summary: After The Rain
Review: I've just finished reading Norma Fox's book, After The Rain and it was thrilling! The book was written as if it were the character's thoughts. Rachel is the main character and her grandpa is hospitalized. Will he live or die? If you would like to read about a fifteen year old girl who is dealing with her grandfather, who loves her dearly,then you should absolutely read After The Rain. This is an excellent book and I recommend it to anybody!

It might take a little bit of time for you to read but it will pay off to read it. It is about 249 pages long.

Summary: A very gripping book.
Review: This book really touched my heart. I highly reccommend this book to others. Trying to understand grandparent/parents etc ain't easy. And Mazer certainly brought out a very real and true-to-heart account. She made me understand that even if your loved ones are dead, the memories they left you would always be there... no matter what...

Summary: After the rain comes sunshine
Review: This is yet another great NFM book. It's about a teenage girl named Rachel who had many difficult situations to deal with. First of all, she had elderly parents and brothers old enough to be her father.(her niece was 3 months younger than her!) Second of all, she had just gotten a new boyfriend, Lewis. Most importantly, her catankerous grandfather was dying. How could she handle these situations? I enjoyed this book. I found pieces of myself in Rachel. I'm an aspiring writer, and 7 months ago I lost a grandmother who was difficult to get along with, but whom I still loved. I wish I had grown closer to her before her death as Rachel did with her grandpa. "After the Rain" showed that although life and any kind of loving relationship often bring pain, in the end the experience is worthwhile.
