__See You at Harry’s__ by Jo Knowles ISBN: 978-0-545-55093-2 c2012 310 pages

Summary:

Fern is one of four children in a family that runs a restaurant/ice cream shop. Her dad is forever coming up with ways to embarrass the kids (or so Fern and her brother and sister think). When they create a new commercial to promote the business, her three-year-old brother, Charlie, steals the show. Customers come just to see him and hear his famous, “See you at Hawee’s!” line. Even though Fern is short with her younger brother, she loves him dearly. She also knows her brother Holden is different…in ways that others don’t appreciate, but she loves him just as deeply as well. It isn’t until something happens midway through the book that this family realizes just how great they had it….until the accident. The grief the family experiences is real and heart wrenching. It had me crying for over 100 pages, so beware. :(
