Summary: After losing his father Finn Garrett begins to physically fade. He is becoming transparent and his hair has changed from black to white. His journal/book with short, short chapters (some half a page and others four pages) are replete with cartoon drawings. Through this conversational prose Finn describes his family, school friends, grief, remembrances, and daily life without his father.Ages: 11 and up
Comments: I was looking for something like Diary of a Wimpy Kid fans. This should work because of the style, however, you should warn potential readers that this story is on a single painful topic. There is some humor but I did not experience any laugh-out-loud moments like I did during the reading of Diary. Finn thoughts about the viewing and funeral are candid and vivid.
