Synopsis
A heartbreaking story about learning to cope with loss from the Newbery Honor-winning author of Olive's Ocean.
When a person is gone, you need something to remember her by. It's been only two months since Spoon Gilmore's grandmother died, but already he's worried that he'll forget her. He needs something of Gran's, something that matters, something special.
But Spoon's little sister, Joanie, won't stop tagging along and pestering him, even when they go to their grandfather's house. And that's why Spoon winds up doing what he does . . .

From the Back Cover
It had been only two months since Spoon Gilmore's grandmother died, but already he was worried that he would forget her. That's why he needed something of Gram's - something special that had belonged to her, something to remember her by.
Spoon wasn't quite sure what the something was, though he knew he would know it when he saw it. But Spoon's little sister, Joanie, did not leave him much time to look. She was always following him, demanding attention. Spoon didn't have the time he needed to think, or perhaps he wouldn't have done what he did.
