Say Goodnight, Gracie by Julie Reece Deaver

This was a great book that realted to me personally. The book has many great lessons that can be learned for young readers, but also lessons that can be carried throughout one's life. Many readers can relate to the relationship of Jimmy and Gracie. Their mothers were friends in high school and stayed friends through pregnancy. The two kids grow up together until Jimmy is killed by a drunk driver.
This is a good lesson for children to learn at a young age. Neither of these two ever thought this could happen. It is good for children to see how fast things can happen if they aren't smart!
This was a fast read and I can see how it would keep the attention of young readers.
