Commentary As Books Umbrella Summer

Annie Richards knows there are a million things to look out for -- bicycle accidents, food poisoning, chicken pox, smallpox, typhoid fever, runaway zoo animals, and poison oak. That's why being careful is so important, even if it does mean giving up some of her favorite things, like bike races with her best friend, Rebecca, and hot dogs on the Fourth of July. Everyone keeps telling Annie not to worry so much, that she's just fine. But they thought her brother, Jared, was just fine too, and Jared died.

Judgment About Books Umbrella Summer
Great story, a tear jerker with good characters and a strong well delivered message.

Using the words careful and worry would be an understatement for describing main character, Annie Richards.Her brother died of something unexpected, and ever since, she has to be extra careful, and takes life too seriously, like a grown up! She is missing out on her childhood.Thankfully, Mrs. Harper, an elderly lady moved in across the street to the "haunted house" and becomes friends with Annie, and helps her see life in a new way. Because of Mrs. Harper, Annie's umbrella starts to close, and

A student recommended this book to me last year when I mentioned I was looking for more allergy books (allergy books are books that cause kids to sniffle because of "allergies"). I finally got to it on my to-be-read-pile.She was right. Of course, there are references to Charlotte's Web , a sure-fire allergy book, that help. But, really, it's just such a sweet book that deals with tragedy and loss in a loving manner. I'm so very going to recommend this one!

HarperCollins Advanced Reader CopyThis book is aimed at children who have suffered a loss but I am not sure it is complete enough for that. The friendship between the main character and her older neighbor has results that I don't think were developed enough in the story.

I really liked Umbrella Summer! Its so interesting. Annie is the main character she's so interesting, she's scared about all the things that could happen to her.

Annie, a ten year old girl, is a girl whose brother, Jared, died because a hockey puck hit him. Their mother took Jared to the hospital, and the doctor said he just hurt his chest and will be ok but then two days later he died. The hockey puck actually hit Jared in the heart. This made Annie not trust any doctor when someone is hurt. So now since this tragedy was over Annie has been scared of every little thing like getting a paper cut or getting stung by a bee. She even got a book full of what

I really enjoyed reading Umbrella Summer by Lisa Graff. This story was about losing someone you love and learning to cope with the grief that follows. The book reminded me of losing my great grandmother this past summer. Annie, the main character in this story, became very fearful about life and was extremely cautious about everything in her life. I was totally able to relate to Annie's feelings. When you lose someone you love, it changes the way you view life. I also understood why Annie was
