It was so disturbing and yet it was so short. <br /><br />Sandy - Ha, this week's theme isn't really an upper. <br /><br />annieb - Well then this is a perfect list of books to avoid! <br /><br />Cecelia - That's so true!

THE YEARLING didn't come to mind for me, but that book is so beautiful and sad... <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!
