My first book read for this challenge is Why Did She Have To Die? by LurleneMcDaniel.
What do you do with an older sister who is smart, pretty, popular, and perfect?
What do you do when you realize she's the best sister ever?
What do you do when you find out she's gone...and you didn't get to say goodbye?
Thirteen-year-old Elly Rowan asks herself those questions—and one more...
Why Did She Have to Die?
Lurlene has a great writing style which is ideal for teenagers to be able to relate to. Her stories speak right to you and you can just imagine what it would be like if you were to step into the shoes of the teenage characters in the story and face the challenges that they are having to deal with.
In this story Elly's older sister dies when they are riding together in a car driven by a guy Elly's sister likes. The car crashes and Elly's sister dies. Elly is then left questioning why was she not the one that died when her sister always appeared to be the favored child with her parents and Miss Personality and Popularity at school. Why couldn't she be the one that died and her sister survived when it was her sister that appeared to have everything going for her while she was the overlooked child or so it would appear to her. I am sure that there are many teens that would be able to relate to this story and how to deal with what happened and eventually reach out to other for help to be able to start accepting what happened and be able to move forward in her life.
