Say Goodnight, Gracie Related Titles

The issue of loss through death is one treated by several writers of young adult fiction. One particularly good example is Robin Brancato's Facing Up (1984); in that novel a teen-age boy loses his best friend, and suffers the same sense of loss and anger that Deaver's heroine feels. Pairing the novels might be a good way to show readers that these feelings exist in both boys and girls.
