Mary Anne and the Memory Garden (Baby-Sitters Club, 93)

Rating:
Summary: A Great Book, very realistic and very Sad
Review: I cryed when i read this book because it was so sad. In this book Mary Annes friend was killed in a car crash and Mary Anne who is already very sensitive struggles to cope with her grief. I thought that the book was very realistic. Some of the babysitter were not sad because they didnt know Amelia. Even though everyone should be sad about an event like this that is not how it always goes. Recently a boy in my school killed himself and i heard many people in the halls saying that they werent sad because they didnt know him. I didnt know him but i was sad. I would recomend this book to all BSC readers. Just make sure you have a box of tissues near by when reading

Summary: one of the saddest BSC stories
Review: In this book Mary Anne starts getting real close to a girl named Amelia when they work on a project together. Amelia and the other kids working on the project come over Mary Anne's house to work. Later that night Amelia and her family are on their way out to eat and they are hit by a drunk driver and Amelia is killed dead. Everyone is grief-stricken and goes to Amelia's funeral. Mary Anne finds a special way to keep Amelia forever in their memory. This was too sad for me because I like a happy book better but I am sure a lot of people would love it a lot.

Summary: One of the Saddest books I ever read
Review: This book is about when Mary Anne and her English group work on a project. So then everybody thinks of a good idea to write an old-fashioned newspaper from Shakespeare's time. A girl in Mary Anne's group named Amelia Freeman told everybody she was going out to eat with her mother, father, and brother. She said she knew this project would be an easy A+. She told them how she wished she could bring them along.
The next day it was announced that Amelia had been killed in a car accident. Luckilly, the rest of her family was in the hospital and would be fine. Mary Anne was so upset that she needed to talk to a Psycayatrist. But what she told the Psychiatrist made me think. This is what she said, "As she was about to go home she said she wanted to bring us along. So if I was in her car then, I might have been dead now if I were with her."
I recomend this book for people who just lost a loved one.
