![]() Laurel writes letters about music, love, friendships, her absent mum, her dead sister, to people like Amy Winehouse, Judy Garland, and John Keats. And even though Laurel never hands the letter in to her teacher, she finds she can’t stop writing. Laurel starts with a letter to Kurt Cobain, because May loved him. Laurel hopes to make a fresh start and outrun her sister’s shadow when she starts High School, but when Laurel’s handed an assignment in her English class–write a letter to a dead person–she finds her sister, May, is still haunting her, even though Laurel’s not writing to her. It’s hard to live in the shadow of your big sister, especially when your sister is dead. ![]() What to expect: Siblings, Loss, High School ![]() Publisher: Farrar Straus Giroux (April 1, 2014) The Children’s Book Review | JLove Letters to the Dead ![]()
