Rent Mick Harte Was Here

Synopsis

How could someone like Mick die? He was the kid who freaked out his

mom by putting a ceramic eye in a defrosted chicken, the kid who did a wild

dance in front of the whole school--and the kid who, if only he had worn his

bicycle helmet, would still be alive today. But now Phoebe Harte's

twelve-year-old brother is gone, and Phoebe's world has turned upside down.

With her trademark candor and compassion, beloved middle-grade writer Barbara

Park tells how Phoebe copes with her painful loss in this story filled with

sadness, humor--and hope. Chosen by Publishers Weekly as one of their

Best Books of 1996. 'A full-fledged and fully convincing drama' (Publishers

Weekly).
