The Key to the Golden Firebird/Maureen Johnson/297p

Three sisters come home from playing a prank of a friend to find that the father has had a massive heart attack and died.  One year later, the book covers, from all three perspectives, how the girls are dealing with their grief.  Both funny and sad, the book has a nice tone and does not come across as too heavy handed when the girls make stupid decisions.  If you have enjoyed other titles by Maureen Johnson, you should consider giving this older title of hers a try.

Give to teens that want something a little lighter than Sarah Dessen.
