Praise for You Are Not Here:
"The death of someone you love will define you in ways small and large. It can defeat you. Or deliver you. You Are Not Here is a story about ultimate deliverance, and one you'll not soon forget." - Ellen Hopkins
"These refreshingly spare lines tackle tough relational issues?intimacy, risk, abandonment?with aplomb, making for a moving tale that also effectively shows teens how life can go on." - Kirkus
Children's Literature
- Elizabeth Fronk
Annaleah grieves for her friend Brian, who dies unexpectedly. The novel's short verses chronicle Brian's death in the present tense and flash back to the past when Annaleah and Brian meet and begin their romantic relationship.
