STAR

Más información sobre el libro

The sudden death of Brian's mother changed his life forever, in ways he could never have imagined. His father is depressed and self-absorbed, his asthmatic, awkward younger brother, Shawn, is a constant source of embarrassment and Brian is filled with excitement and shame resulting from recent malevolent acts he and his friends committed. Only Tera, his little sister, brings him joy. Star is the heartwarming and at times, whimsical, story of Brian, a ten year-old, whose courage, values and clarity about what truly matters transform his life and the lives of those he touches. Susan Shaw's story is both a wonderful adventure and an educational springboard for teaching national and local curriculum standards in English Language Arts, science and social studies' core values.
