#tbt: Love, Aubrey by Suzanne LaFleur


Love, Aubrey by Suzanne LaFleur. 276 p. Yearling/ Random House Children's Books, 2009. (Own.)

#tbt features the perfect book for readers who love sad, sad, sad. Love, Aubrey was author Suzanne LaFleur's debut and was published in 2009. Eleven-year-old Aubrey has had a lot of grief in her life. Her first-person narrative lacks details initially, leaving readers hooked and needing to fill in the blanks. She had been abandoned and was living on cereal and Spaghetti-Os until her grandmother arrived to take her in. This involved moving to Vermont, where she meets a caring counselor, makes a new friend and writes letters she never mails.
