Synopsis of Missing May
"Since Summer was six years old she lived with dear Aunt May and Uncle Ob. Now, six years later, Aunt May has died. Summer, who misses May with all her might, is afraid something will happen to Ob." Life seems to have stopped at her house in Deep Water, West Virginia until Cletus, a strange boy from school, begins visiting, bringing life, curiosity, and strength back to Summer and Uncle Ob.
This is a story for older elementary-age children. It addresses grief, loss, and loving family relationships. Ms. Rylant offers no pat answers to grief other than to trust in love.
