All the Blues in the Sky by Renee Watson
Sage was looking forward to spending her 13th birthday with her best friend, until tragedy struck. When her best friend is killed, Sage struggles to have the energy to move on with her own life. How can she, after she has suffered such a profound horrible loss? And even other students in her grief group at school don't understand what it is like to have a person in your life one moment and then gone the next - well, at least not all of them understand it. Sage wrestles with the question of which loss is greater and can she really find the courage to live the life she wants, without her friend.
Recommended for grades 6th and up.
