One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies is by Sonya Sones. Typical Sones fare, it is written in easy to fiction in verse. It is the story of Ruby, who's mother has just died. She is now leaving the only family she's ever known, not to mention her best friend and boyfriend, to go live in Hollyweird with the father she's never met; who just happens to be a famous actor. Her attempts to deal with her grief, loss, and her anger with her father are by turns touching and amusing.
Ratings: 8th grade - 9 out of 10 - MP (mild profanity) - brief mention of homosexuality.
